Information Sharing Environment Annual Report to the Congress: National Security Through Responsible Information Sharing.

摘要

The ISE is a partnership for responsible sharing of terrorism-related information between the law enforcement, public safety, defense, intelligence, homeland security, and diplomatic communities. It extends to all levels of government federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial; and incorporates private sector partners and international allies. This Sixth Annual Report to the Congress on the state of the Information Sharing Environment (ISE) examines the extent to which the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA) terrorism information sharing mandate is being implemented by agencies that possess or use information about terrorism, operate a system in the ISE, or participate in the ISE. This Report, which PM-ISE is submitting on behalf of the President,i incorporates input from our mission partners and uses their initiatives and PM-ISEs management activities to provide a cohesive narrative on the state and progress of terrorism-related responsible information sharing, including its impact on our collective ability to secure the nation and our national interests. This Report describes how agencies have fared against established performance measures and highlights accomplishments, including illustrative examples of ISE progress toward the responsible information sharing goals derived from IRTPA, presidential guidelines in support of the ISE, and the National Strategy for Information Sharing. It covers PM-ISEs reporting responsibilities pertaining to the Interagency Threat Assessment and Coordination Group (ITACG). PM-ISE also supports aspects of information sharing in other domains, such as maritime, primarily to promote cross-domain information integration in the pursuit of strengthening national security through responsible information sharing.
