Counterintelligence Awareness and Security Brief

The "Counterintelligence Awareness and Security Brief" course was developed primarily for employees at cleared defense contractor facilities. This eLearning training enables these employees to complete the training at any time, to fulfill their initial or annual security, counterintelligence, and insider threat awareness training requirement. The emphasis of the training is on awareness of potential threats directed against U.S. technology; it also explains common suspicious activities, including insider threats that should be reported to the Facility Security Officer (FSO) in compliance with the National Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). FSOs may use this training in conjunction with their company specific security protocols for duties applicable to the employee’s job, to meet the Counterintelligence and Threat Awareness training requirement outlined in NISPOM 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117.12.
