Security and Investigative Activities

Abstract

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) manages the Defense Vetting Directorate (DVD) for the entire government to support personnel vetting requirements. DVD has established itself as the mission authority for personnel security, continuous vetting, and insider threat for the federal government. Continuous Vetting (CV) program incorporates continual monitoring of individuals in support of the federal investigation standards for security clearances. This funding facilitates critical objectives the Risk Rating Tool and a Research & Innovation fund for future capabilities. DVD continues to develop the Risk Rating Tool (RRT) to focus data acquisition on individuals demonstrating high risk behaviors as identified by machine learning modeling approaches. DVD will expand, test, and evaluate RRT models for the entire DoD population. The second objective of the funds is to establish a Behavioral Research and Innovation fund to support such entities as PERSEREC to continue to understand cleared populations, validate and or inform policy offices, and support in the development of business rules with scientifically backed recommendations. Additional the funds in the out years will support prototypes, and pilots in Continuous Vetting to ensure an agile ability to test and evaluate state of the art technology that can support and off set existing Continuous Vetting processes in such areas as: Robotic Process Automation, Gamification, Bio-Metrics/Credibility, Augmented Reality, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Chatbots, and other state of the art technologies that can be developed, prototyped, and piloted.
