The National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) leads national counterintelligence (CI) for the United States government. It is part of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
History
Seal of the preceding agency, the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive
The Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive (ONCIX) was established on January 5, 2001 by a directive from President Bill Clinton which also established the National Counterintelligence Board. It replaced the National Counterintelligence Center, which was created in 1994 in response to the arrest of CIA mole Aldrich Ames.[1]
In November 2014, the Director of National Intelligence established NCSC by combining ONCIX with the Center for Security Evaluation, the Special Security Center and the National Insider Threat Task Force, to effectively integrate and align counterintelligence and security mission areas under a single organizational construct.[2] With this reorganization, the ONCIX ceased to exist as a separate organization.
Role
The ONCIX facilitates and enhances US counterintelligence efforts and awareness by enabling the CI community to better identify, assess, prioritize and counter intelligence threats from foreign powers, terrorist groups, and other non-state entities; ensures that the CI community acts efficiently and effectively; and provides for the integration of all US counterintelligence activities. Its official mission[3][additional citation(s) needed] is to:
Exploit and defeat adversarial intelligence activities directed against US interests.
Protect the integrity of the US intelligence system.
Provide incisive, actionable intelligence to decision-makers at all levels.
Protect vital national assets from adversarial intelligence activities.
Neutralize and exploit adversarial intelligence activities targeting the armed forces.
The National Counterintelligence Executive chairs the National Counterintelligence Policy Board, the principal interagency mechanism for developing national CI policies and procedures, and directs the National Counterintelligence and Security Center.[citation needed]
While ONCIX does not distribute warnings of potential threats to the private sector, it works closely with the FBI's Awareness of National Security Issues and Response (ANSIR) program, the State Department's Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) as well as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to ensure that such warnings are timely made.[4] The Office of Counterintelligence of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency maintains a full-time presence within ONCIX.[5]
Leadership
On August 7, 2006, Director of National Intelligence John D. Negroponte appointed Joel F. Brenner to serve as National Counterintelligence Executive and Mission Manager for Counterintelligence.[citation needed]
On September 21, 2009, Robert "Bear" Bryant was appointed as the National Counterintelligence Executive.[6
In May 2014, DNI James R. Clapper appointed William Evanina, a former FBI special agent with a counterterrorism specialty, as the new National Counterintelligence Executive.[7]

William R. Evanina (born 1967) is an American law enforcement official currently serving as Director of the United States National Counterintelligence and Security Center.[1][2] As Director of the NCSC he is the head of national counterintelligence for the U.S. Government.[3] Evanina previously served as Director of the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive (ONCIX) before it transitioned into the NCSC. Prior to his service as National Counterintelligence Executive, he was the chief of the Counterespionage Group for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He gained his initial law enforcement experience as an Special Agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).[1]
Early life
Evanina was born to John and Barbara Evanina in Peckville, a suburb of Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he grew up. His father was a professional musician and founder of The Pennsylvania Merry Makers, a well-known polka band.[4] Evanina attended Valley View High School where he played football and baseball[5][6] followed by a stint at Keystone College where he continued to play baseball.[5] He then transferred to nearby Wilkes University and in 1989 received a bachelor's degree in Public Administration, magna cum laude.[7] While with the FBI he completed, in 2008, a master's degree in Educational Leadership at Arcadia University which is just outside of Philadelphia.[3][1][8]
Career
After college Evanina went to work for the General Services Administration, where he was a project manager in the new construction division.[9] In 1996 he joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation where as a special agent he served in the violent crimes unit, the organized crime unit, and the Bank Robberies and Counterterrorism divisions.[7][9] He also later served in the FBI's National Security Branch and Counterintelligence Division.[7] He became a certified SWAT team member as well as a certified sniper.[9] During this time he was involved with the investigation into the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93 on 11 September 2001, the mail-distributed anthrax attacks also in 2001,[5] and the Daniel Pearl kidnapping.[10]
In June 2004, he was appointed as a Supervisory Special Agent in the new Joint Terrorism Task Force.[10] While there, following a tipoff from Customs,[11] he led the investigation into the activities of an FBI intelligence analyst at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, who was leaking classified information to parties in the Philippines. Evanina's work led to the conviction of Leandro Aragoncillo for espionage, in appreciation of which Evanina received the FBI Director's Award for Excellence.[7][10] In January 2006 he was appointed as Senior Supervisory Resident Agent (SSRA) heading the FBI's New Jersey office in Trenton. In March 2009, he was assigned to the Washington office, and worked in the FBI's National Security Branch, where he led both counterintelligence and counterterrorism operations.[10]
In September 2013, Evanina was put in charge of the joint FBI and CIA Counterintelligence Division/ Counterespionage Group, where he coordinated personnel from multiple intelligence agencies in countering foreign espionage.[10] In June 2014, he was appointed by James R. Clapper to head the office of the National Counterintelligence Executive, replacing Frank Montoya,[12][3][13][14][15]
After the firing of James Comey in May 2017, Evanina was under final consideration as interim director of the FBI;[16] instead Andrew G. McCabe remained as acting director until the appointment of Christopher A. Wray in August 2017.[17]
In February 2018, President Trump formally nominated Evanina to the directorship of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, as Congress had made the position subject to Senate confirmation as of 2015.[13][18] On May 6, 2020, the United States Senate confirmed his nomination by a 84–7 vote.
