LINTHICUM, Md. – The Center for Development of Security Excellence (CDSE), part of the Security Training (ST) Directorate, Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), hosted a live webinar on Supply Chain Risks and Counterintelligence on April 25.
Each April, the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) and its partners use “National Supply Chain Integrity Month” as a platform to encourage organizations across the country to safeguard supply chains against foreign adversaries and other potential threats.
“Hostile nation states and other threat actors exploit supply chain vulnerabilities to steal American intellectual property, target our critical infrastructure, and compromise our cybersecurity,” said Michael Casey, NCSC Director. “While these incidents have increased in number and severity, so has our resolve to build resilience in the supply chains we all rely upon.”
CDSE, the premier provider of security training, held the webinar to contribute to this effort by discussing supply chain risk with respect to counterintelligence concerns, educating on the dangers facing the supply chain and remedies to protect it, as well as highlighting various products offered, such as job aids, course, and videos.
This year, NCSC and its partners are asking organizations to use “A.C.E.” — Acquisition Security, Cybersecurity, and Enterprise Security to bolster their Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) programs. Incorporating A.C.E. into SCRM programs will help organizations make more informed decisions throughout the supply chain lifecycle.
The webinar brought together a panel of SCRM subject matter experts: Jeanette McMillian, Assistant Director for Supply Chain and Cyber Directorate, National CI and Security Center, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Chad Bahan, Assistant Director, Insider Threat SCRM, Cybersecurity Services Staff, Office of the Chief Information Officer, Department of Justice, and Kristoffer Buquet, Chief, Research Development and Acquisitions Protection, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, who shared their expertise as it relates to their agency’s focus on protecting the Nation’s critical supply chain by preventing and mitigating counterintelligence concerns from the initial stages to delivery.
At the conclusion of the event, Tom Gentle, CDSE’s Counterintelligence Curriculum Manager, provided a curriculum overview and a brief synopsis of the SCRM awareness resources available in the CI awareness toolkit on the CDSE website.
