About the Homeland Security Intelligence Workshop

 

Homeland Security – the protection of the full spectrum of our society – requires an unprecedented level of intelligence collection, processing, analysis and sharing across all levels of government and the private sector. The historic Homeland Security Bill and creation of the Department of Homeland Security introduced new organizational, procedural and technical challenges to coordinate people, processes and technologies to share information and coordinate intelligence and law enforcement as never before. The needs to assure constitutionally protected privacy, to protect information, while assuring anticipatory analysis and warning pose ongoing challenges. Spanning federal foreign and domestic intelligence to state and local law enforcement, Homeland Security intelligence teams must provide extraordinary breadth of coverage and depth of understanding to understand, anticipate and deter threats; they must respond to the needs of policy makers, warning officers, crisis managers, and first responders.

This unique workshop will help you explore the emerging intelligence requirements, organizational and operations to conduct Homeland Security intelligence activities, surveying the legal and information requirements demanded by Congress, and the operational implementation across intelligence and law enforcement. Focusing on practical implementation, the Homeland Security Intelligence Workshop provides a strong introduction to the methodologies of collection, processing and analysis. It also shows you how these requirements can be practically achieved at the federal, state and local levels in terms of operations (e.g. information sharing mechanisms and intelligence fusion centers) and technology implementations. You will examine the processes of information sharing, intelligence and warning, cross-organization collaboration, and intelligence dissemination. The operational (people and processes), systems (networked infrastructure) and technical (standards, and technologies) perspectives of the Homeland Security intelligence architecture are described. You will also discuss future directions in the emerging threat and in the development of technologies to support Homeland Security.

You will address…
• What policy and technology challenges are posed by the needs for Homeland Security intelligence? What are the alternative positions on these issues?
• How do Homeland Security Intelligence requirements drive the implementation of planning, direction, collection, processing-analysis, and reporting? What new approaches are available for collection, processing, collaboration, analysis and dissemination?
• How do Homeland Security Intelligence needs affect current and future plans and initiatives in Federal, state and local intelligence and law enforcement organizations and systems?

In addition to the course materials, you will receive a CD containing the complete course notes and a digital reference library of over 40 key reference documents on intelligence for homeland security, organized by the outline of the workshop.


What You Will Learn
 

• How are U.S. Strategies in Homeland Security influencing current and future plans and initiatives in federal, state and local intelligence operations and systems?
• What does the Homeland Security intelligence architecture look like? What information sharing processes and systems are required, and how are they being implemented and integrated? What information tools will analysts, crisis managers, and first responders require?
• What resources are being allocated for intelligence needs? Who conducts the operations, performs the R&D, and who will implement and operate them?
• How are the current intelligence operations performed? What are the practical sources, collection and analysis methods and how are they implemented?
• What new technologies are being developed to achieve the necessary capabilities for intelligence collection, sharing, processing, analysis and dissemination?
• PLUS, A review of over 20 current Homeland Security related intelligence activities across the Intelligence Community, ODNI, DoD, DoJ, State, the ISACs, DARPA, IARPA and others.

About the Understanding Government Personnel and the National Industrial Security Program Workshop

 

The current National Industrial Security Program (NISP) which governs access by US contractors to sensitive or classified data is a result of the explosive growth of modern technology and constant threats from insiders and other countries. The United States developed the NISP which sets forth the requirements for obtaining US Government security clearances required for access to this information.

This training workshop is designed to take you from start to finish through the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) as it relates to government involvement. It examines and explains the requirements for security of classified information released to industry from the issuance of a classified bid packet, through the completion of the classified contract. The responsibilities of program managers, contracting officers and security personnel are discussed throughout the workshop.

 

What You Will Learn

 

* History and overview of the NISP
* Responsibilities of the various government officials concerning the program and classified contracts
* Process of bringing contractors into the program
* Computers and contractors; Chapter 8 overview
* Classification management issues within the NISP
* In-depth review and group discussion of the DD Form 254

A Homeland Defense Journal "Certificate of Completion" will be provided to all attendees upon conclusion of the workshop.

 

Who Should Attend

 

- Government Procurement Managers
- Program Managers
- Facility Security Officers
- Security Administrators
- Program Security Managers
- Contractor Executives
- HR Directors
- Anyone with an interest in personnel security clearance processing
