Thoughts to Consider...

• National Security is executed/funded by USG; built by Industry

• Government should have some assurances products & services are delivered uncompromised

• There is NO difference between National Security and Economic Security

• MUST think beyond classified programs and cleared people

• War Room Board Room

CI & Identity Management

• In this digital and portable age, our company proprietary and personal information is only as secure as those who have access to it

• Malicious and/or accidental insider activity are significant risks

• The Insider Threat cannot be detected by biometrics or other assured identity technologies

• Identifying pre-event indicators is paramount to mitigating risk

• Partnerships between CI & Cyber critical in establishing employee baseline profiles (behavioral & digital)
