2001 Technology Collection Trends in the U.S. Defense Industry

Abstract

This fifth annual study is the Defense Security Service's (DSS) primary counterintelligence (CI) tool for security professionals. The data presented in this study is based solely on reports of suspicious foreign activity sent to DSS by Industrial Security Representatives and Special Agents. This information is based on information provided by cleared defense companies and cleared employees that experience foreign suspicious activity. DSS believes that this publication provides general information and conclusions that help cleared companies and DSS personnel recognize and report suspicious foreign activity so that DSS can assist cleared companies enact responsive, threat-appropriate, and cost-effective security countermeasures (SCM). DSS' proactive provision of relevant threat information for cleared contractors should further sensitize them to deter and detect suspicious foreign activity. Numerous government agencies also use this summary of reported information to analytically confirm or deny assessments of technology targets, to identify suspicious foreign actors, and to strengthen and supplement their investigative missions.
