Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) reposted this
I spoke today at The Cipher Brief’s Threat Conference to introduce the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) to this expert group and to issue a call to action. My points were extensions of the key themes of other Threat Conference briefers. But from the security perspective. ✅ DCSA is the largest purpose-built security agency serving the Federal government that most people don’t know about. ✅ The threat to the Defense Industrial Base is significant, evolving and growing. DCSA is on the front lines of this fight to protect our decisive advantage on the battlefield and our economic competitiveness. ✅ We need a mindset shift about security—it must be built into everything we do, and we need to tackle the threat together—security is a team sport across government and the private sector. At DCSA, we’re working to future-proof ourselves by planning for what we’ll need to do in 2040. How will the threat evolve? What missions will we prioritize and how should we do them? How should the government-industry partnership adapt over time? What data and tools will be most useful? What policy and legislative changes would be necessary? ❓ What do you think?❓ #ThreatCon #TheCipherBrief
