The purpose of this briefing is to keep you informed of appropriate changes in security regulations.

3. OVERVIEW OF THE SECURITY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Classified information is official government information that requires protection in the interest of national security. Three levels have been established based on the criticality of the information or material to national interests. TOP SECRET: Information or material whose unauthorized disclosure could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security. SECRET: Information or material whose unauthorized disclosure could be expected to cause serious damage to the national security. CONFIDENTIAL: Information or material whose unauthorized disclosure could be expected to cause damage to the national security. There are other categories of information which, while not classified, also could deserve mention: For Official Use Only (FOUO) is unclassified government information which is exempt from general public disclosure and must not be given general circulation. Company private or proprietary information is business information not to be divulged to individuals outside the company.

Foreign government’s continued ability to acquire state-of-the-art U.S. technology at little or no expense has undermined U.S. national security by enabling foreign firms to push aside U.S. business in the marketplace and by eroding the U.S. military lead. A clear line must be drawn to protect information that is: classified, or subject to export controls because it concerns military critical technologies, or proprietary information that is the intellectual property of a specific firm or individual. Controlled unclassified technology. The increasing value of technology and trade secrets in the global and domestic marketplaces, and the temporary nature of many high-tech employments, have increased both the opportunities and the incentives for economic espionage. The rapid expansion in foreign trade, travel, and personal relationships of all kinds, now makes it easier than ever for insiders to establish contact with potential buyers of classified and other protected information.

11. THE THREAT – ECONOMIC & INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE cont’d
