NITTF Resource Library
Welcome to the updated NITTF Resource Library. As part of its assistance mission, the NITTF works within the Insider Threat community to identify best practices, policy templates, and guidance to assist in the development of Insider Threat Programs and Insider Threat Training. Please check here periodically for newly posted information that may be of assistance.
The Resource Library is now divided into 4 sections to help visitors view the various information on Insider threat information:
| NITTF Produced Guides and Templates | NITTF Directives & Advisories |
| External Learning Modules | NEW: Additional Insider Threat Resources |
NITTF Produced Guides and Templates: This section of the NITTF Resource Library provides Insider threat information that was developed by NITTF. Included in this section are the 2017 Insider Threat Guide: A Compendium of best practices to accompany the National Insider Threat Minimum Standards (PDF) (and the errata) and the Any Given Day video.
NITTF Directives and Advisories: This section of the resource library provides the various advisories and directives. This section provides information to departments and agencies information on key Insider Threat topics such as User Activity Monitoring (UAM) and data mining.
External Learning Modules: This section of the resource library provides Insider Threat learning and information developed by our external partners. This section includes the recently uploaded Mental Wellness and Insider Threat modules develop by the IC-EEOD and members of the Intelligence Community respectively.
Additional Insider Threat Resources: This section provides additional resources that have been developed by our various partners that provide additional information and resources to the Insider Threat Community.

NITTF Collaboration Efforts
As part of the NITTF’s focus on assisting the executive branch with meeting the minimum standards, the NITTF has partnered with D/As to develop solutions to visualize complex data at no cost, provide a GOTS case management tool to D/As insider threat programs, and have assisted classified network providers with developing written data sharing agreements to meet minimum standard requirements.
Where is this Page... I don't see it
The National Insider Threat Task Force, established under Executive Order (E.O.) 13587, is the principal interagency task force responsible for developing an executive branch insider threat detection and prevention program to be implemented by all federal departments and agencies. Integrated in this mission of insider threat program development is the need to develop, provide and establish training standards for Insider Threat program personnel, specifically those people directly involved with the Insider Threat “hub”. The hub is responsible for gathering and analyzing insider threat information, identifying potential insider threat concerns, and ensuring that an appropriate inquiry is conducted to resolve concerns.
NITTF Insider Threat Training:
The demand for Insider Threat training continues to increase in order to meet department and agency (D/A) requirements to implement insider threat programs and develop an effective capability in the workforce. Since its inception, the NITTF has hosted several versions of no-cost training covering establishment and implementation of insider threat programs -- training over 1,000 people across 70 departments and agencies. In 2015, our training efforts focused on launching an Insider Threat Hub Operations Course to deliver a practical, scenario-based approach to teach Insider Threat hub activities. This course is focused on teaching fundamental requirements and concepts of Insider Threat response actions, along with policy and legal authority considerations, from an initial trigger event to mitigation measures. This professional training course will better prepare D/A’s hub personnel to appropriately and legally handle day-to-day insider threat activities. This course also aids in satisfying national training requirements for Insider Threat program personnel.
NITTF Endorsed Workforce Training:
In addition to training tailored for your insider threat professionals, the Minimum Standards also require insider threat awareness training for the federal workforce. Many D/As have taken the initiative to develop their own training in line with the standards. The NITTF issued a directive in 2014 for federal agencies to use the Defense Security Service/Center for Development of Security Excellence web-based Insider Threat Awareness course for those agencies who did not have training to provide their workforce. The DSS site is open to all government D/As and certificates are available after course completion.

Posters
"I Want You..."
This poster highlights the counterintelligence threat from non-state actors, such as drug cartels and other transnational criminal organizations. Non-state actors actively recruit US government employees, law enforcement, contractors, and military personnel with knowledge, access, and skills of value, including operational knowledge, access to sensitive or classified information, and military and law enforcement training. Verifying the true origin and nature of business proposals can reduce the risk of unwittingly assisting a non-state actor.
"Recruitment Classified Ads"
Recruitment attempts by a drug cartel or terrorist organization are never as obvious as in this poster. The poster highlights that non-state actors, just as foreign intelligence services, recruit US government officials, law enforcement, contractors, and military personnel for their knowledge, access, and skills.
