LEIU/IALEIA Conference Webinar - Threat Profiling
2021-10-14 13:00 - 15:00 UTC
The LEIU/IALEIA Conference Committee is proud to announce the launch of a new webinar, Threat Profiling, presented by Erik Kleinsmith.

This free-to-attend event is scheduled to take place on October 14, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. EDT / 10:00 a.m. PDT.

DESCRIPTION: In our attempts to identify, understand and counteract today’s threats, threat profiling has been routinely misunderstood or simply overlooked as a viable analytical methodology. Too often associated with other forms of profiling such as behavioral or racial profiling, threat profiling is simply a way to help collect relevant information about the group, prioritize analysis of that information and present their analysis within a commonly understood framework. At its core, threat profiling is conducted by organizing all available information about a threat group based upon a set standard number of components or categories. The key to the understanding and using these methods are in their simplicity. Among other benefits, threat profiling provides a basis of knowledge about a threat group or organization for other structural analytic techniques to draw from and can also assist analysts in in organizing and coordinating their analytic approach with other analysts.

BIOGRAPHY: Erik is the Associate Vice President for Strategic Relations in Intelligence, National, Homeland and Cyber Security for American Military University (AMU). He is a former US Army Armor and Intelligence Officer with extensive experience in several areas related to intelligence and security as well as portfolio manager for intelligence and analytic related training with Lockheed Martin. Erik has gained notoriety related to his involvement in the Able Danger program as the military lead of a team of analysts profiling and mapping Al Qaeda prior to 9/11 as well as his involvement in several cold case investigations including the identity of the notorious criminal known as DB Cooper. He is one of the main subjects of the 2010 book, “The Watchers: The Rise of America’s Surveillance State” by Shane Harris and is the author of several intelligence and security related articles and the book Intelligence Operations: Understanding Data, Tools, People, and Processes.

Interested members should register via GoToWebinar.

We look forward to everyone joining us!
