THREAT AWARENESS AND DEFENSE

 When conducting analysis of threat ask the following questions:  What do we have?  What is our technology, defense or economic product  What do they want?  The product the foreign entity or government have the most to gain  How can they get it?  Where are we vulnerable  What efforts can we take to prevent unauthorized disclosure?  Training  Recognizing the threat  How to react to the threat  Reporting  How and what to report THREAT AWARENESS AND DEFENSE

 Could you be a target overseas?  Who are you and what will you do?  Science convention  Air shows  Business meetings Conduct Risk Analysis

 Will you be speaking?  Are you approved for a certain subject?  Watch for the cancellation and topic change For example, suppose you are approved to speak on the topic of a radar’s effects on bird migration. The foreign host may inform you that the conference has changed and they need you to present the subject of the weather’s effects on a specific radar.  What business will you be conducting?  Is it approved?  Make sure to stay on target For example, suppose you have approval to present a business opportunity for a teaming effort on your company’s refractor lenses for a foreign government’s telescope. The foreign entity brings the discussion to focus light beam intensity. Same product, different capabilities. Conduct Risk Analysis

 Some factors that could increase the possibility  Your access  Overseas locations  Ethnic, racial, or religious background COULD YOU BE A TARGET

 Just as in real estate, location is important. Your position, responsibilities and geographic location are circumstantial and may increase your chances of being targeted for recruitment.  Also, your background may cause you to be vulnerable. Foreign operatives may play on your sympathy if you have ties to foreign countries. It is important to always report foreign relations to the FSO  It is important to note that all the above factors that increase the chances of a person selected or initial targeting and assessment are circumstances you have little or no control over.  Most foreign contacts are perfectly legitimate and well meaning. Your ability to recognize the few who are not will help you avoid problems. It will also help your security officer help others avoid problems. COULD YOU BE A TARGET

 You have no control over whether or not you are targeted  Most foreign contacts are perfectly legitimate and well meaning COULD YOU BE A TARGET

 Your present situation may cause you to look vulnerable, but it doesn’t mean you will be targeted. Also, you may be targeted even if your circumstances aren’t as above. It’s all out of your control. However, you can control your actions and how you react to assessment and recruiting efforts.  Your ability to recognize the few who are not will help you avoid problems. It will also help your security officer help others avoid problems. COULD YOU BE A TARGET

 Who Could Target You?  Third party spies  Students  Convention Attendees  The next table over  Anyone Conduct Risk Analysis

 When traveling overseas, things may not be the way they seem. Friendly encounters, business meetings, symposiums and etc could provide a fertile market for collection efforts.  Remain vigilant, but remember to obey laws and practice local customs and courtesies if they don’t violate ethics.  Report all suspicious contacts to security Conduct Risk Analysis

 Collection efforts  Elicitation  Eavesdropping  Surveillance  Theft  Interception THREAT AWARENESS AND DEFENSE

 Elicitation-Subtle form of questioning where conversation is directed to collect information- It is a different method than direct questioning and is hard to recognize  Example of Elicitation can be found in the recent case of Ben- Ami Kadish, who gave secrets to Israel. His handler, who also handled a spy name Pollard, smoothly convinced him to turn over documents to help maintain the security of Israel. Kadish received small gifts and private dinners. dyn/content/article/2008/04/22/AR html?wpisrc =newsletter dyn/content/article/2008/04/22/AR html?wpisrc =newsletter  Eavesdropping-Listening in to get information  Surveillance-Watching target unobserved THREAT AWARENESS AND DEFENSE

 Today’s business puts many employees in contact with foreign entities. Some of these contacts can lead to elicitation  Elicitation is different than direct recruitment  Subtle, but enough to obtain privileged information  Listen to your gut; if the conversation feels wrong…  Change the topic and move on  A reluctant prospect may not be pressed into service A WORD ABOUT ELICITATION

 Economical need for information is strong  Spies look and act like normal people  Any traveler can be assessed  Privileged information is damaging  Report suspicious situations KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN

 Organized Government Services Could:  Follow you  Sneak into your quarters  Tap your communications  Arrange audio and video coverage  Use guides and interpreters WHAT’S THE WORSE THAT COULD HAPPEN?

 Security or foreign intelligence services are active  They can and do review Visa requests  You may be assessed  At the very least, these services may “debriefed” some of your foreign contacts  If you are of interest, the next step is Recruitment WHAT’S THE WORSE THAT COULD HAPPEN?
