Be Relied on for Your Knowledge

The best FSOs and defense security professionals use their knowledge of evolving threats and national security issues to earn influence and credibility with business leaders and stakeholders.

Bring back eye-opening context to business leaders so you can help them make informed decisions about acceptable levels of risk. Equip yourself to communicate with colleagues who may be skeptical, indifferent, or unaware of the threats we face, or what's at stake for national security. When you bring this level of awareness to your work, leadership listens, security culture improves, and your program becomes more than just a set of policies—it becomes a strategic advantage.
