1. Insider Threat Detection Capabilities

Beginning in May 2011, the Committees Audits and Oversight staff conducted a review of IC insider threat detection capabilities at the CIA, DIA, FBI, NGA, and NSA. The review determined that in the wake of the WikiLeaks disclosures, IC elements were improving their abilities to detect and deter insider threats, but the review also noted wide disparities in agencies capabilities requiring attention and remediation. The review concluded that the IC should improve the structure and management of insider threat programs within IC agencies, and that the DNI should issue IC wide policies governing security and counterintelligence monitoring.

5. Unauthorized Disclosure of Classified Information to the Media ('Leaks')

During the 112th Congress, the Committee held a hearing and numerous staff briefings to review issues related to the Committees continuing concern over unauthorized disclosures of classified information, particularly disclosures to the media. The Committee held a hearing with Ms. Lisa Monaco, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, and Mr. Robert Litt, General Counsel for the ODNI, to examine IC and law enforcement efforts to prevent and investigate unauthorized disclosures, as well as to prosecute, or otherwise hold accountable, those determined to be responsible for such disclosures. In furtherance of the Committees efforts to address unauthorized disclosures of classified information, the Committee included a provision in the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, that requires, subject to certain specified exceptions, that government officials responsible for making certain authorized disclosures of national intelligence or intelligence related to national security notify the congressional intelligence committees on a timely basis with respect to such disclosures. This provision, Section 504, is intended to ensure that the intelligence committees are made aware of authorized disclosures of national intelligence or intelligence related to national security that are made to media personnel or likely to appear in the press, so that, among other things, these authorized disclosures may be distinguished from unauthorized leaks. Unless renewed, the provision will expire one year after enactment.
