2. Homeland Security Intelligence Workshop

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.

 

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.

3. Fusion Centers and Information Sharing Conference

Following the attacks on September 11th, multiple commissions and the federal government deemed that one of the critical flaws in preventing the attacks was the inability of agencies to collect, analyze and disseminate intelligence and information. It is widely accepted that the indicators were there, but were not recognized or shared in a timely manner to prevent the attacks. With this blatant indicator of our need to reorganize our intelligence capabilities, DHS and the federal government funded over 40 regional, state and local fusion centers across the country to act as the eyes and ears in the war against terror here at home.

The goal of fusion centers is to prevent manmade threats and to respond to natural disasters as effectively and efficiently as possible. The ability to integrate multiple streams of intelligence, gathered not only from federal, state and local government agencies, but also the private sector and local citizenry, allows a more accurate and comprehensive picture of risks to people, infrastructures and our communities. The goal of this integrated approach to intelligence gathering is to develop information and translate it into protective action.

Unfortunately, there is no one “model” for fusion centers and how they should be structured and operated. There is little guidance from the federal government or a nationwide consensus on the role of a fusion center in the war on terror or in the fight against crime. Consequently, fusion centers nationwide have varied priorities and roles from state and local law enforcement. These priorities and roles range from counter-narcotics, criminal intelligence and counterterrorism creating an all-crimes and all-hazards approach to intelligence analysis and fusion. A Congressional report stated that there is little “true fusion” or analysis of disparate data sources, identification of intelligence gaps or pro-active collection of intelligence against those gaps which could prevent protective action being taken.

The Fusion Centers and Information Sharing Strategies Conference will bring together government officials, emergency responders, security personnel and the private sector to address the issues of fusion centers information sharing. Attendees will hear experts discuss the role of fusion centers and hear first hand from “model” fusion centers that have clear operational and technical capabilities. Speakers will provide insight into the functions, operations and the role of technology in the fusion center and how the three must be integrated for effective information sharing. Career intelligence officers will share insights into the training that is needed for analysts to effectively “connect-the-dots” when analyzing disparate data sources. This is an opportunity for government and industry representatives to come together for a common purpose to understand the current state of fusion centers and information sharing and where the nation is going in the near future.

What You Will Learn:

 

* Integration of disparate intelligence information
* Utilization of career intelligence officers
* Consolidation of fusion centers
* All hazards approach vs. criminal activity
* Federal guidelines
* Funding issues
* Training needs
* Civil liberties and privacy concerns
* Technology needs
* Best practices

 

Who Should Attend:

 

* Federal, state and local security planners involved with fusion centers or information sharing
* Fusion center directors and analysts
* Services and product providers who wish to learn about federal programs, grants and funding for fusion centers
* Executive and senior staff involved with fusion centers
* Project Managers and Technical Staff
* Homeland Security Officials
* First Responders
