Insider Threat Mitigation
An International Community of Practice
Our international and multi-sector community shares ideas, good practices, and expertise to understand and mitigate insider threat to international nuclear security. In doing so, we provide resources, host events and webinars, and gather for an international symposium every three years.
Over 30 nations participate in our community of practice.
NEW Webinar Series!
“Personnel Vetting Challenges and Opportunities”
The webinar series on personnel vetting challenges and opportunities is organized by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, represented by the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission and the Jordan Research and Training Reactor. The purpose of the webinar series is to advance INFCIRC/908 objectives to mitigate insider threats in the nuclear sector as well as to support the insider threat mitigation community of practice through the sharing of good practices and lessons learned.
Advancing Nuclear Security
Insiders pose a significant threat to nuclear security because they generally possess access rights which, together with their authority and knowledge, grant them far greater opportunity than outsiders to bypass dedicated nuclear security measures.
Mitigating Insider Threats
At the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit, the U.S. sponsored a Joint Statement on Mitigating Insider Threats, which was also issued as IAEA Information Circular 908 (INFCIRC/908). Since then, dozens of countries have endorsed the Joint Statement and are advancing the state-of-practice of mitigating insider threats for nuclear security.
