University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics Seminar Series: Counterintelligence within Academia
April 11, 2023 at 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm CDT
Abstract:
For years, adversaries have been utilizing counterintelligence exploitation techniques to gain access to organizational and government information. These attempts have increased in ferocity with new techniques being developed on a daily basis. As the largest defense contractor in the world, Lockheed Martin is far from exempt from this targeting. As Counterintelligence Professionals, our role is to detect and mitigate new threats in order to protect our employees and our company from exploitation. This presentation will touch on some of the tools that we utilize within this process and provide you with a real-world example of how an adversary can impact an organization.
