C.3: U.S. Government and Contractor Penetration

Prevent the penetration of U.S. Government entities and contractors.

Other Information:

U.S. Government support of critical national research and development initiatives in a large number of agencies and involving thousands of government contractors must be protected. Compromise of these initiatives by those hostile to the United States would do irreparable harm. The FBI must effectively meet its responsibility to assess the threat against those projects and, with other Intelligence Community agencies, initiate operations to counter the threat. Priority Actions: Know U.S. Government entities and contractors of interest to foreign services. Form strategic partnerships with targeted agencies, industries, and facilities to understand the threat. Conduct operations to disrupt foreign targeting of U.S. interests.
