ABOUT

About DSAC

DSAC was established in 2005 by Corporate Security Officers (CSOs) from the country’s largest corporations, Federal Bureau of Investigation officials and members of the State Department’s Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC). Modeled on OSAC’s successful, impactful public-private partnership, DSAC connects private-sector security experts the FBI’s Office of Private Sector and the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

DSAC facilitates strong, enduring relationships to detect, prevent and deter criminal acts and to expand the ability of its 650+ member organizations to protect their employees, assets and information. DSAC programming includes security information and networking, as well as continuing education for CSOs and intelligence analysts.
