Understanding the Espionage Threat through an Examination of Major Spy Cases

This program is presented by the Eastern Management Development Center in partnership with The Center for Human Reliability Studies, Oak Ridge Associated Universities.

The conviction of FBI agent Robert Phillip Hanssen, who admitted spying for the Soviets for over 15 years, is one of a series of espionage cases that has been uncovered since the end of the Cold War. Modern espionage is not limited to military and other Government intelligence secrets. In 1996, Congress passed the Economic Espionage Act to address the increasing problem of foreign governments and major corporations targeting the American Government and proprietary information of value. In addition to an expansion in the types of organizations targeted for espionage, there have been new developments in the tradecraft used, including extensive use of the Internet for espionage and information warfare activities.

During this five-day program, participants have an opportunity to discuss the major spy cases of the past decade with experts from the intelligence and counterintelligence community. Cases to be covered include Walker, Ames, Trofimoff, Hanssen, and Montes. The motivation of espionage agents in each case is discussed and assessed, and unclassified details of their detection and the investigation into each case are presented. The class discussion also examines and analyzes video interviews with the convicted agents and training segments prepared for selected cases.
