Research Security Overview

Abstract

Secretary of Defense Memorandum, Subject: Establishment of the Protecting Critical Technology Task Force, October 24, 2018. DoDs Science and Technology (S and T) community, along with the defense industry and research enterprise must ensure the integrity and security of our classified information, controlled unclassified information, and key data. The impacts of the loss of intellectual property and data cannot be overstated we must move out to protect our resources and our forces. Each year, it is estimated that American industry loses more than $600 billion dollars to theft and expropriation. Far worse, the loss of classified and controlled unclassified information is putting the Departments investments at risk and eroding the lethality and survivability of our forces. -Former Secretary of Defense, James Mattis
