NCSC is the primary authority responsible for developing and implementing the National Counterintelligence Strategy.
National Counterintelligence Strategy 2024
The National Counterintelligence Strategy outlines counterintelligence priorities based on current and anticipated threats and communicates these priorities to federal, state, and local partners, as well as Congress, industry, academia, foreign partners, and the public. The strategy provides a framework for strategic planning, resourcing, and evaluation. It also aligns counterintelligence community efforts with the U.S. National Security Strategy and other national strategies to drive progress in key counterintelligence mission areas.
