Innovation protection starts with people.

If you are a research security officer, facility security officer, research administrator, export control specialist, contracts administrator, or research program manager, consider becoming an expert on research security and compliance by completing the professional certificates offered by the Research and Innovation Security and Competitiveness Institute (RISC) at The Texas A&M University System.

Most employees, contractors, and supply chain partners are unaware of the internal and external threats posed by foreign influence, nation-state-sponsored, and commercial competitive threat actors that exploit well-meaning people with access to research, trade secrets, and proprietary information. As a result, 95% of insider IP loss and theft is unintentional. Don’t be a victim — learn to protect yourself, your teams, and your intellectual property from espionage, competitive theft, and accidental public disclosures.

Organizations of all sizes can now train their employees, contractors, and supply chain partners to protect intellectual property and other proprietary data with branded courses and awareness campaigns. Custom online courses, instructor-led workshops, and webinar sessions can reinforce your compliance policies and promote a culture of trust.
