Speakers Sue Dorr, ODNI and Wallace Coggins, ODNI discuss safeguarding the Intelligence Community Information Environment (IC IE). All 17 elements of the IC are responsible for taking proactive measures to secure and defend all intelligence-related enterprise, mission, and business information technology to the degree necessary to protect our people and the data that is so vital to performing our intelligence mission. In February 2018, the Principal Deputy Director for National Intelligence commissioned the development of the Improving Cybersecurity for the Intelligence Community Information Environment Implementation Plan to identify the most critical cybersecurity functions and tasks requiring attention; to raise awareness of IC element roles and responsibilities; and to foster ongoing conversation about enterprise security risks and the needed balance of investment and sustainment to mature the IC IE safeguarding posture, during a breakout session of the DoDIIS Worldwide Conference, August 19, 2019, in Tampa, FL.
