Ray Semko can teach the two-day course, “Counterintelligence for Security Professionals” for your organization:

Counterintelligence for the Security Professional

Counterintelligence for the Security Professional will introduce the student to today’s threat (criminals, foreign intelligence services, terrorists, malicious code writers, hackers/hacktivists and disgruntled employees) to sensitive and classified information, our employees and our resources.

We will talk about the multi-faceted threat that faces our companies and Agencies today and tactics we can employ to combat their efforts to include:

  • Examination of espionage/illegal export case studies since year 2000
  • The lessons we have learned from these cases about what motivates our employees to engage in illegal activities
  • How organized crime is finding it lucrative to collect and market stolen technology to foreign customers
  • Tactics and methodologies used by FIS to collect our sensitive information
  • How the “Trusted Insider” may be the biggest threat of all
  • Specific actions supervisors, senior managers and HR and security professionals can take to mitigate the threat to our information, personnel and resources
  • How OPSEC can help to mitigate the Threat
  • How to get senior managers invested and to persuade employees to support a good security program
  • Ways to persuade employees that suspicious activities reporting is important
  • The common threads between insider employee espionage, cyber misbehavior and violence in the workplace
  • The threat from countries with whom we have good foreign relations
  • Why foreign intelligence services are just as active – or perhaps even more so – in the U.S. today as they were during the Cold War
  • How to obtain free CI/CT resources/information from both government and non-government sources to support your security education and training program
  • Reporting requirements for government and federal contractor personnel relative to suspicious foreign contacts and how this reporting is making a difference
  • The five top technologies targeted for collection by FIS and how we know this
  • The collection threat from students, business men, scientists, engineers, and other non-intelligence professionals
  • Why the foreign collector is often as interested in our sensitive but unclassified information as he/she is in military-related information
  • How small storage devices such as USB sticks makes it so easy to exfiltrate information from our workplaces and suggested countermeasures to this threat
  • The huge award that can be given to someone who provides information that results in an espionage conviction
  • The dangers of loose lips in airports, sidewalk cafes, hotels, and social networks
  • The emerging threat from U.S. citizens in the religious fringe who have recently had a deeply religious experience which could lead them to commit a terrorist act
