The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) is striving to increase security clearance efficiency by developing the National Background Investigation Services (NBIS) that will replace legacy background investigation information technology (IT) systems.
The NBIS is a part of the new Trusted Workforce 2.0 framework, designed to consolidate the security clearance process and fix problems slowing the process of obtaining initial clearances and then transitioning cleared employees among agencies.
During Potomac Officers Club’s Trusted Workforce Forum, the leading figures in the federal government and private sector gather to discuss Trusted Workforce 2.0 and efforts to reduce the security clearance backlog.
William Lietzau, director of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, will deliver the forum’s keynote address. He will provide an overview of his first 100 days at DCSA, vision for developing a secure, trusted workforce, upcoming major initiatives and how industry can help.
