Today’s webinar was the final episode of a series on Addressing Emerging Security Threats sponsored by SIMS Software. Bishop Garrison, VP for Policy at INSA, moderated the webinar, and featured?Don Carlos James Blasingame, Assistant Director, Enterprise Threat-Mitigation Directorate, NCSC/ODNI; and Dr. Catherine Camilletti, Deputy Assistant Director, Enterprise Threat-Mitigation Directorate, NCSC/ODNI. The webinar covered the establishment of the Joint Threat Assessment Team (JTAT), the new National Counterintelligence Strategy, and the implementation of personnel vetting reform. A discussion on best practices for Insider Threats emphasized that Insider Threat and Risk are intimately tied to employee well-being. Adversaries are using behavioral sciences and social engineering to target disgruntled workers and early employee engagement is crucial to preventing harm before it begins. Thank you to INSA for hosting another informative national security event during National Cyber Security Awareness Month! #INSACoffeeConvo #InsiderThreat #InsiderRisk #NationalSecurity #Security #PersonnelVetting #TrustedWorkforce #ODNI, #cybersecurity, #socialengineering
