BETHESDA, Md. - Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) leaders recognized Lockheed Martin Corp. as a national leader in counterintelligence while presenting the 2023 Jack Donnelly Award for Excellence in Counterintelligence to the company’s senior officials on Oct. 23.
“This award represents the important work, innovation and vigilance of not just the counterintelligence and security experts, but of the entire Lockheed Martin team,” said Jim Taiclet, Lockheed Martin chairman, president and chief executive officer, after the ceremony held at the defense and aerospace manufacturer’s headquarters.
Lockheed Martin – one of 10,000 companies and universities performing classified work for the federal government – was among five award winners best demonstrating the ability to prevent the theft of U.S. defense and national security technology.
“Your success is our success,” said Andrew Lochli, DCSA assistant director for Counterintelligence and Insider Threat, while speaking to Lockheed Martin’s security and counterintelligence leadership. “We can't do this on our own. The award is a testament to excellence in counterintelligence reporting and your commitment to the partnership. It’s a testament to the highest standards of CI practices because at the end of the day, we want to detect, deter and disrupt the adversaries.”
Lockheed Martin’s collaboration with DCSA includes security reviews that evaluate internal processes and National Industrial Security Program operating manual compliance and the identification of any potential gaps in security controls.
