Effective US Intelligence operations demand secrecy and security to protect sources, methods, and the people who carry them out. New technologies, essential and complex international public-private partnerships, aggressive campaigns from nation states and individual--sometimes “insider”-- actors, and legitimate demands for more transparency have challenged existing security and secrecy practices and demand new approaches. In this session security practitioners and government leaders will discuss new approaches for personnel and information technology security and how they will affect all who work in US Intelligence, including the private sector.
Focus Questions:
Are today’s security policies adequate for US Intelligence’s need for foreign partner engagement; are we unintentionally inhibiting foreign contact by public and private sector personnel when we need it most?
Are security policies and collaboration practices with Industry where they need to be for effective counterterrorism and critical infrastructure operations within the territory of the US? If not, what can and should be done to improve them?
What new technology practices and policies are being considered to implement the continuous monitoring of those entrusted with national security information and how will they affect industry and academia partners?
