Session BI15: CounterIntelligence
February 18, 15:00 - 15:45 A counterintelligence officer's experience in the private sector
Abstract:
The private sector has much to learn from government experience but the education process is a daunting task. There are major impediments to appreciating the need as well as accepting the necessary changes to implement a program.

Bill DeGenaro's experience directing intelligence for a Fortune 100 firm combined with his government counterintelligence experience and private investigation work creates an interesting back drop for consulting in this challenging area.

Bill will brief his experience in convincing private sector executives of the need, the reasons for resistance and cases studies which will illustrate key findings.
