The Markle Task Force on National Security in the Information Age

In 2002, The Markle Foundation convened a bipartisan Task Force to examine national security in the information age. Since then, this diverse group has consulted with government officials, private industry, experts on technology and civil liberties, and foreign partners to find solutions for this critical information sharing and collaboration problem.

Through a series of reports the Markle Task Force has advocated for the creation of a trusted information sharing environment that achieves the twin goals of protection our nation and preserving the civil liberties of the American people.
