COUNTERESPIONAGE / INSIDER THREAT DEFENSE TRAINING COURSE
The Counterespionage / Insider Threat Defense Program (CE-ITDP) Training Course aims to set the Security, Education, Training and Awareness (SETA) standard, for combating the Insider Threat problem across the U.S. Federal Government (USFG), Department of Defense (DoD), Intelligence Community (IC) and Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Sector. SETA standardization is crucial, and will provide for a more focused, alert and able workforce to detect, deter or mitigate malicious Insiders.  The increased awareness and focus on the Insider Threat problem, by other Insiders, is one of the most effective and cost efficient approaches for dealing with the Insider Threat in an organization.

 

PLEASE NOTE: The CE-ITDP Training Course will exceed the requirements set fourth in various statutory policy and regulatory mandates, regarding Security, Education, Training and Awareness (SETA) for the U.S. Federal Government. See: US Federal Government SETA Requirements.

 

The CE-ITDP Training Course (Classroom/Web Based) was designed from the ground up in 2011, after numerous unauthorized disclosures of classified information from the WikiLeaks website. CEUS reviewed existing Counterespionage Training Courses, the April 2000 DoD Insider Threat Mitigation Report and various other Computer Crime/Data Breach Reports. Interviews were conducted with various Counterintelligence (CI), Security and Information Assurance (IA) experts from across the USFG, DoD and IC, with extensive experience in Insider Threats and Espionage. The overall conscience and feedback was that a CE-ITDP Training Course was needed. The CE-ITDP Training Course was developed and will provide CI, Security and IA professionals with a broad base of knowledge to assist them in developing, implementing and managing an Insider Threat Defense Program for their organization.
