Insider Threat Program Operations Personnel

Curriculum
INT311.CU
Description:

This curriculum provides specialized training for analysts and other operations personnel working in Insider

Threat programs within DoD components, federal agencies, and industry. It is designed to equip students

with the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to conduct their duties. EO 13587, National Minimum

Standards for Insider Threat, NISPOM Change 2, and DoDD 5205.16 mandate a multidisciplinary Insider

Threat Program to include counterintelligence, law enforcement, human resources (HR), behavioral

science, and security components, including cybersecurity. It is essential that operations personnel

understand the role of each of these disciplines within the Insider Threat Program. They must identify viable

response options ranging from administrative actions, security violations or infractions, and referrals to HR,

Employee Assistance Program (EAP), law enforcement, and/or military department (MILDEP)

counterintelligence. Operations personnel must process Insider Threat matters in such a manner that

potential future investigational viability and/or operational capability and the privacy and civil liberties of the

workforce are preserved. Insider Threat program analysts must understand intelligence community analytic

standards and critical thinking skills. Most departments and agencies recommend that all insider threat

program personnel have some level of formal training in CI and security principles, techniques, and tools.

CI and security expertise is critical within a program’s integration and analysis hub to analyze

information, investigate, and resolve insider threat concerns.
