David Cattler, Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency director, is questioned while on camera at a media event held after he presented the Jack Donnelly Award for Excellence in Counterintelligence to Dr. Timothy Sands, Virginia Tech president, on Nov. 22. The award - presented only to entities cleared by the federal government to deter, detect and disrupt the theft of classified information - recognized Virginia Tech for being a national leader in counterintelligence.
“It means that they've got a solid program,” said Cattler in response to a reporter asking what the award means and how hard an institution must work to win the recognition. “They know what they're doing. They're training the professors, their research security officers – even students from time to time on what proper security procedures are. They're mentoring other universities and colleges across Virginia, and they really stand out when we look across the nation at these security programs.”
The ceremony featured remarks by Cattler, Sands and Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., (standing left to right) regarding the university's counterintelligence accomplishments impacting Virginia Tech’s operations, investigations, cybersecurity, collaboration, community outreach, threat Integration, training and awareness, and leadership.
