WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s (ODNI) National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) today issued a joint bulletin with ODNI’s Office of Economic Security and Emerging Technology (OESET), the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) to protect U.S. emerging technology startups from investment by foreign threat actors.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released the following statement:
““As each of us has indicated in prior public statements, Iran seeks to stoke discord and undermine confidence in our democratic institutions. Iran has furthermore demonstrated a longstanding interest in exploiting societal tensions through various means, including through the use of cyber operations to attempt to gain access to sensitive information related to U.S. elections. In addition to these sustained efforts to complicate the ability of any U.S. administration to pursue a foreign policy at odds with Iran’s interests, the IC has previously reported that Iran perceives this year’s elections to be particularly consequential in terms of the impact they could have on its national security interests, increasing Tehran’s inclination to try to shape the outcome. We have observed increasingly aggressive Iranian activity during this election cycle, specifically involving influence operations targeting the American public and cyber operations targeting Presidential campaigns.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Director of National Intelligence Avril D. Haines today issued the following statement:
“On behalf of the Intelligence Community (IC), I thank Christy Abizaid for her principled, effective, and dedicated leadership as the 8th Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).
