Industrial Security Activities

Abstract

The Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency (DCSA) is a strategic asset to the nation and our allies - continuously ensuring a trusted federal, industrial, and affiliated workforce, and enabling industry's delivery of uncompromised capabilities by leveraging advanced technologies and innovation. DCSA uniquely blends critical technology protection, trusted personnel vetting, counterintelligence, and professional education and certification to advance and preserve America's strategic edge. The Critical Technology Protection Integration Cell (CTPIC) is a whole-of-government engagement effort to deter, detect, and disrupt the unauthorized technology transfer activities of our adversaries. CTPIC serves as the DoD focal point for assessments, coordination, integration, and operational information sharing related to critical technology protection across all phases of research, development, and sustainment. This funding is needed for data access and analysis tools that support prioritization of limited resources and direct focused engagements addressing targeted threat information and mitigation actions. Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) program management office oversees the University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) to provide strategic research and development to solve intelligence and security problems. ARLIS overlays human behavior and social science and culture and language expertise with expertise, research, and development in emerging and advanced technologies to solve increasingly technical, but human-centered intelligence and security challenges. RDT&E funding will be used for strategic research efforts that broadly benefit the Defense Security Enterprise (DSE) and develop capability and capacity at ARLIS that work sponsors can build on.
