What is INFCIRC/908?
In short, Information Circular 908 (INFCIRC/908) is a joint statement issued in 2016 that seeks to build awareness of an acknowledgement that the insider threat is credible and that it poses a serious threat to the security of nuclear and other radioactive materials. As outlined in INFCIRC/908, subscribing nations commit to:
- Support the IAEA to develop and implement an advanced, practitioner-level training course on insider threat mitigation, and
- Implement measures to mitigate insider risk by taking a risk-informed, graded approach
Revised Joint Statement on Mitigating Insider Threats
The Revision recognizes the efforts of the International Working Group and its Steering Committee in advancing the state-of-practice of the international community through practical products and tools. We enable practical implementation and sustainment of insider threat mitigation measures by using these practical products, prioritizing regional engagements, and showcasing leadership and expertise. We urge all countries to consider showcasing their efforts in mitigating insider threats by subscribing to the INFCIRC and endorsing Revision 1 via your Permanent Mission in Vienna.
