Live Q&A: Foreign Influence Concerns for Federal Contracting - A View from the Investigators

Event description

Foreign investment can play an important role in maintaining the vitality of the U.S. industrial base. While U.S. government policy allows foreign investment consistent with the national security interest of the United States, foreign investment can sometimes trigger concerns about improper foreign influence, including risks of unauthorized access to classified information.

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), through vetting, industry engagement, education and counterintelligence and insider threat support, secures the trustworthiness of the U.S. government's workforce, the integrity of its cleared contractor support and the uncompromised nature of its technologies, services and supply chains. DCSA collaborates with other intelligence and law enforcement organizations, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Join this free online session facilitated by the Kentucky APEX Accelerator procurement consultant, Douglas Brent, for an overview and discussion of these issues with experts Guy Kerby, DSCA Counterintelligence Special Agent, and FBI Special Agent Robert Spelbrink, PhD, who together have nearly 40 years of combined experience in counterintelligence and national security.
