Foreign intelligence services are engaged in an aggressive and evolving campaign to steal classified information, intellectual property, and strategic technologies from U.S. defense contractors, research institutions, and government agencies. The economic, operational, and national security costs of these threats are staggering, with foreign espionage directly impacting U.S. industry, small businesses, and America’s technological advantage.

This intelligence-driven briefing will provide a high-level, up-to-date assessment of foreign espionage operations targeting U.S. industries—who is behind them, how they operate, and the consequences of their actions. Security professionals don’t just need to understand these threats for themselves—they need to be able to bring this intelligence back to their teams, cross-functional colleagues, employees, and Senior Management Officials (SMOs) to strengthen awareness across their organizations.

Allan Kohler, former Assistant Director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, will provide an inside look at modern espionage threats, breaking down how America’s adversaries are infiltrating businesses, exploiting vulnerabilities, and causing widespread damage to national security and the economy.
