Customized Insider Threat Training Programs for Department of Defense (DoD) Contractors
Arlington offers customized insider threat programs for DoD contractors seeking to implement the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF). The dangers of the insider threat is the ability for somebody to use authorized access wittingly or unwittingly, to do harm to the national security of the United States, their organization, or themselves.
Insider Threats are Growing – Be Prepared
Insider threats include a wide-range of nefarious activities, such as damage through espionage, workplace/kinetic violence, unauthorized disclosure of national security information, or through the loss or degradation of departmental resources or capabilities. While organizations spend considerable amounts of time and money protecting their assets from external threats, many times, they fail to look inside their own organization, where the great dangers potentially lie.
Did you know that most insider threats exhibit what the DoD identifies as “Risky Behavior” prior to an event happening by such an individual, all the more reason for mitigating such risks before harm can occur to your organization?
With Arlington our customized insider threat programs – and our DoD Insider Threat Program Toolkit – is specifically designed for helping mitigate internal threats against your organization, along with meeting today’s strict regulatory compliance requirements as put forth by the NIST RMF.
It’s a Requirement for DoD Contractors
A strict requirement for DoD contractors is developing and implementing a comprehensive insider threat program. Per the Center for Development of Security Excellence (Security education, training, and certification for DoD), “Insider Threat Programs are designed to deter, detect, and mitigate actions by insiders who represent a threat to national security.”
Per the DoD ISL 2016-02, NISPOM 1-202 requires the contractor to establish and maintain an insider threat program that will gather, integrate, and report relevant and available information indicative of a potential or actual insider threat.
Now more than ever, malicious and nefarious individuals unfortunately can be lurking within, waiting to strike, potentially creating catastrophic consequences for an organization. Malicious intent can be devastating – no question about it – but so can uninformed, careless, and naïve employees who undertake actions not understanding the consequences. A well-developed insider threat program hopes to mitigate these threats. Arlington has years of experience developing highly customized insider threat programs for DoD contractors. Additionally, we also offer a DoD Insider Threat Program Toolkit available for download. Intent and Scope of an Insider Threat Program
