C-Int SBS Summit

The fourth annual Counter-Insider Threat Social & Behavioral Sciences Summit (C-InT SBS Summit) was held August 29 and 30 at the Cooperative Plaza Conference Center in Arlington, Virginia. The C-InT SBS Summit was made possible by collaboration with the Department of Defense Counter-Insider Threat Program, the National Insider Threat Task Force (NITTF), and the Defense Personnel and Security Research Center’s (PERSEREC) Threat Lab. The C-InT SBS Summit provided opportunities to strengthen relationships across the global C-InT Community of Practice and learn ways to integrate research into operations through presentations about research findings and newly developed tools and artifacts. The focus of this no-cost, two-day event was Bystander Engagement and the important roles that bystanders play in our everyday work environments. Presentations and discussions covered various aspects of Bystander Engagement, including focus on individual awareness of concerning behaviors, strategies for acting on those concerns, and appropriate actions. If you missed the summit or want to revisit the presentations, visit https://sbssummit.com/ to watch select recordings.
