Insider Threat Detection Analysis Course (ITDAC) Now Available
The ITDAC has been transferred to CDSE and is now open for registration. This virtual instructor-led, no cost course is offered to all Executive Branch departments and agencies and is designed for all federal insider threat program analysts from the DOD, Intelligence Community (IC), and Non-Title 50 (NT-50) communities.
