The Cipher Brief Honors Charlie Allen with Lifetime Award

By Charlie Allen

Charlie Allen retired from the Central Intelligence Agency after a distinguished decades-long career as a CIA officer, including as the National Intelligence Officer for Warning, the National Intelligence Officer for Counterterrorism, and Assistant Director of Central Intelligence for Collection.

The Cipher Brief is incredibly proud to present its first-ever Lifetime National Security Award to veteran intelligence professional, Mr. Charles E. Allen this Sunday, September 13 during opening day of The Cipher Brief Threat Conference.

As The Cipher Brief enters its fifth year of publishing expert national security insights, perspectives and analysis, we wanted to find a way to honor those who have served the country in multiple ways over the decades, whether in the public or private sectors, and across multiple administrations.  We can think of no one more deserving of our first-ever award than Charlie Allen.

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
