Insider Threat Detection Analysis Course (ITDAC) Coming to CDSE
The ITDAC will be transferring to CDSE in Spring of 2024. This no cost course is offered to all Executive Branch departments and agencies and is designed for all federal insider threat program analysts from the Department of Defense (DOD), Intelligence Community (IC), and Non-Title 50 (NT-50) communities.
Specifically, this course provides entry level Counter-Insider Threat Analysts the ability to apply critical thinking skills and applicable structured analytic techniques to potential insider threat indicators as learners obtain and use holistic data in conjunction with the application of critical pathway theory. Participants will apply Executive Order, Department of Defense, and IC authorities to gather this holistic data while they ensure constitutional and privacy rights are maintained. Participants will execute the appropriate processes for conducting and reporting insider threat response actions from intake of an initial potential threat to mitigation of the threat. Additionally, students will be able to disclose mandated counterintelligence and criminal activity information to the appropriate agency/office.
Prospective students will need to complete one of two designated tracks within the Insider Threat Program curricula before registering for the ITDAC. For more information, see:
Insider Threat Program Operations Personnel Curriculum INT311.CU
Insider Threat Program Management Personnel Curriculum INT312.CU
Registration for the ITDAC will be available soon. Visit CDSE Insider Threat (https://www.cdse.edu/Training/Insider-Threat/) for more information.
