In collaboration with the Department of Defense Counter-Insider Threat Program and the National Insider Threat Task Force (NITTF), and in support of September’s National Insider Threat Awareness Month (NITAM), The Defense Personnel and Security’s (PERSEREC) Threat Lab is proud to announce the fourth annual Counter-Insider Threat Social & Behavioral Science Summit (C-InT SBS Summit).

This year we are moving into an in-person environment. To kick-off NITAM, the C-InT SBS Summit 2023 will take place August 29th & 30th at the Cooperative Plaza Conference Center in Arlington, VA. Select recordings from the in-person Summit will also be hosted on this website. We have designed these no-cost events to deploy and share knowledge, strengthen relationships across the global C-InT Community of Practice, and integrate research into operations through the delivery of relevant presentations.

This year’s theme is Bystander Engagement, focusing on the important roles that bystanders play in our everyday work environments. Bystander Engagement is the concept whereby an individual is aware of concerning behaviors, knows how to act on those concerns, and takes appropriate action.
