INTRODUCTION:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking information from qualified vendors with expertise in developing, deploying, and managing technology for Insider Threat Programs. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued to collect interest for the coordination of a DOJ Industry Day Event that will support gathering insights into industry's technical capabilities, best practices, and innovative solutions for identifying, monitoring, and mitigating insider threats. The DOJ is not seeking proposals currently but rather is interested in learning about the range of available technologies for Insider Threat Programs.

BACKGROUND:

The DOJ Insider Threat Program is dedicated to the proactive identification, deterrence, and mitigation of insider risks that could compromise sensitive information, disrupt DOJ operations, or endanger national security. The DOJ Insider Threat Program seeks comprehensive technology solution(s) that integrates advanced monitoring, behavior analytics, real-time reporting, and incident response capabilities to ensure both security, safeguarding privacy, and compliance with federal standards.
