Protecting Innovation - A Research Security Forum: Research Security - A Look From the Inside

A critical component of a successful research security program is raising awareness of potential risks to Virginia Tech’s research enterprise. Led by members of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, the session will focus on insider risk behaviors through real-life case studies. Attendees will gain insights into potential risks specific to those involved in U.S. federally-funded research, examples of behaviors that may pose risks, and collaborative strategies to mitigate these threats.

Faculty, staff, students, and administrators supporting U.S. federally-funded research and development programs, including those deemed fundamental research, are encouraged to attend.
