CDSE Introduces "Security Shorts" - Short Format E-Learning Courses
November 14, 2011 - Recognizing the time demands that all security professionals face, the Center for Development of Security Excellence (CDSE) has started producing "short" format learning courses that are about 10 minutes or less. These Security Shorts allow security professionals to refresh their knowledge of a critical topic or quickly access information needed to complete a job. CDSE plans to develop many more in FY12.
The following six Security Shorts are now available in STEPP:
Business Structures - KMP: To Clear or Not to Clear
Provides learners an opportunity to practice identifying Key Management
Personnel (KMP) in different business structures. Reinforces information
taught in a web-based prerequisite to the Fundamentals of Industrial
Security Level 2 course (FISL 2).
Antiterrorism Force Protection
Refreshes learners on the four DoD Threat Levels and five Force Protection
Condition (FPCON) levels and provides learners an opportunity to see some of
the typical FPCON security measures employed in various contexts.
Counterintelligence Concerns for National Security Adjudicators
Provides learners an opportunity to practice recognition of
counterintelligence concerns relevant to the performance of their job tasks
and raises awareness of these issues and their importance in the context of
the adjudication process.

the best actions to take in response.
