Posted: April 10th, 2017

The top counterintelligence priorities of the United States government are insider threats, protecting critical infrastructure, and supply chain security, according to National Counterintelligence Executive Bill Evanina, and tackling those requires a “team approach” of the government and private sector.

“The threats are real and our adversaries are more brazen than ever,” Evanina told security professionals on Monday at the Intelligence and National Security Alliance conference, “Unprecedented Counterintelligence Threats: Protecting People, Information, and Assets in the 21st Century.”
