Threats target people, information, and intellectual property wherever they sit, pushing firms to shift from reactive security to proactive intelligence work. Clark also highlights the tension: corporate intelligence faces legal, privacy, and ethical constraints that differ from government work.

In Episode 109, Clark interviews Karna McGarry, described as a former CIA analyst and Office of the Director of National Intelligence attorney now at Red5, about corporations building their own intelligence capabilities to navigate global risk and balance legal and ethical considerations that differ from government. Episode 126 extends the discussion to universities and regulators through Ted Stanich of Mercyhurst University, covering defensive counterintelligence, operational security for researchers, and intelligence-driven decision-making.

Where products are made, who makes them, and which foreign policies shape the market all affect whether critical infrastructure, defense production, and innovation can be protected. The topics range from forced labor and surveillance in overseas manufacturing to transshipment, Buy American rules, reshoring, export controls, and foreign investment review.

Episode 131 features Hollie Noveletsky, a second-generation owner of Novel Ironworks and former U.S.

• Army Reserve nurse, describing federal trade cases and arguing that China's industrial policies and transshipment practices have eroded domestic steel fabrication capacity, with consequences for critical infrastructure, defense, and supply chain resilience.
• Episode 113 makes the case through Bruce Bailey's account of building and sourcing electric motors in China, including unreliable manufacturing standards, concerns about forced labor in supply chains, hotel surveillance, and bribery pressure that eventually ended the venture.

Their objection to DCSA's Individual Engagement Platform is about execution, not purpose.

• Security teams already manage compliance, reporting, insider threat programs, personnel security, and cybersecurity across disconnected systems.
• A standalone portal risks adding complexity instead of reducing it.

Writing after the 2026 NCMS seminar in Atlanta, Clark calls DCSA's briefing on the Individual Engagement Platform one of the more interesting discussions.

• They ask how security professionals will stay aware of actions, updates, and requirements as reporting centralizes through DCSA-managed platforms, whether the platform integrates with existing systems, and whether industry will use it.
• The test for success: clear value, integration with existing workflows, and an easier process for industry and government alike.

The tactics include cyber intrusions, insider recruitment, supply-chain compromise, and academic collaboration used as technology transfer, across universities, corporations, research institutions, and global supply chains.

• The response Clark highlights combines counterintelligence work with policy tools: export controls, CFIUS investment reviews, investigations, and public-private partnerships.
• Commercial losses and lost technological leadership are at stake.

Episode 125, The Invisible Heist, examines these tactics and revisits the Farewell Dossier as a historical counterintelligence success. The American steel episode applies the same frame to manufacturing capacity, arguing that losing the ability to make critical products at home erodes economic competitiveness and military readiness.

Each post introduces the guest's background, states the problem, and closes with a practical takeaway for working professionals. Guests' positions are presented as their own experience and arguments, not Clark's claims.

Episode 113 follows Bruce Bailey from a manufacturing venture in China through the surveillance, bribery pressure, and forced-labor concerns Clark encountered, then turns to Bailey's anti-trafficking work founding Safe in the Panhandle and helping run Ruth Lake Farm, described as a rescue safe house for survivors. Episode 131 draws on Noveletsky's firsthand experience navigating federal trade cases, not secondhand policy summary.

The goals are to streamline security operations, reduce administrative burden, and add capability without breaking the budget.

• The approach: an open laptop, not a pitch.
• This is commercial activity tied to 351X; the posts show what Clark and colleagues demonstrated and presented, not the terms of any arrangement.

At the 2026 NCMS 62nd Annual Training Seminar, Clark invited attendees to Booth 607 to try 351X, with no sales pitch or calendar requests, and described demonstrating it to FSOs. The posts also name the briefings Clark presented or supported: supply chain risk management and counterintelligence in the Defense Industrial Base, alongside Ryan Rambo and Joseph Sheridan.

Writing after the 2026 NCMS seminar in Atlanta, Clark singles out DCSA's briefing on the Individual Engagement Platform as one of the more interesting discussions, then raises specific reservations.

• The concerns take the form of questions: How will security professionals stay aware of actions, updates, and requirements when reporting and engagement are centralized through DCSA-managed platforms?
• Will this improve communication or add another government portal organizations have to monitor?
• Will industry actually use it?
• Clark's concern is execution, not intent.
• They point to the history of government technology platforms struggling with adoption because they are hard to navigate, do not integrate with existing enterprise systems, create data silos, and run years past schedule.
• The post also inventories what security teams already juggle: compliance, reporting, insider threat programs, personnel security, and cybersecurity obligations across disconnected systems.

A consultancy or vendor seeking a discussion-driven briefing on SCRM or DCSA engagement could use this post as a starting point: it frames adoption questions an audience can answer and shows Clark stating reservations on the record rather than repeating agency messaging.

Clark writes that they and Shawn Michaud sat down with Hollie Noveletsky, described in the post as a second-generation owner of Novel Ironworks, a former U.S.

• Army Reserve nurse, and a congressional candidate.
• The episode covers her firsthand experience with federal trade cases and the pressures on domestic steel fabrication, including China's industrial policies, economic statecraft, and transshipment practices.
• Clark draws a through-line from the loss of domestic capacity to make critical products to risks for critical infrastructure, defense, and supply chain resilience.
• The conversation also covers Buy American policies, reshoring, and reducing foreign influence over supply chains.

Shows the show can carry a single guest through an industry-specific policy discussion rather than a general national security chat. A partner with a manufacturing, reshoring, or supply chain portfolio could pitch a comparable guest episode or sponsor a run on the same theme.

It shows whether Clark can sustain a difficult interview.

Clark writes that they and Ryan Rambo interviewed Bruce Bailey about his early-2000s effort to build and source electric motors in China.

• The post lists the problems Bailey describes: unreliable manufacturing standards, quality control breakdowns, growing concerns about forced labor in supply chains, hotel surveillance, pressure to pay bribes to keep operations moving, and a business partner with ties to the CCP that raised ethical and security concerns and ultimately ended the venture.
• Bailey describes how those experiences led to anti-human trafficking work, including founding Safe in the Panhandle and Ruth Lake Farm, which the post says operates a rescue safe house for survivors.
• The episode closes with prevention, community awareness, and ways the public can recognize signs of trafficking.

For brands planning a campaign

A strong template for narrative-led content on supply chain risk or human rights in sourcing. A partner focused on ESG, forced labor, or third-party risk could use this episode to see how the format handles sensitive first-person accounts without reducing them to policy talk.

Clark writes that they and Joseph Sheridan interviewed Karna McGarry, described in the post as a former Central Intelligence Agency analyst and Office of the Director of National Intelligence attorney who now serves as Senior Vice President, Managed Services at Red5.

• The episode follows her move from government intelligence into the private sector and explores the argument that corporations are building their own intelligence capabilities to navigate global risk.
• Topics include open source intelligence, insider threat detection, the shift from reactive security to proactive intelligence, and the legal, privacy, and ethical considerations that differ from government work.
• It also covers security culture, employee training, travel risk planning, and cross-functional collaboration.
• The post points listeners to McGarry on LinkedIn and to red5security.com.

The episode most directly connected to sponsors and partners: it features a named commercial services executive and a company website. A security vendor or managed services firm could use it as a model for a co-produced episode or a referral point when proposing a collaboration.

Clark describes an episode on nation-state targeting of intellectual property, innovation, and strategic industries, including trade secrets, research and development, and emerging technologies.

• The tactics include cyber intrusions, insider recruitment, supply chain compromises, and academic collaboration used as a means of technology transfer.
• Vulnerabilities span universities, corporations, research institutions, and global supply chains.
• The episode looks back to the Farewell Dossier as a historical counterintelligence success and ahead to export controls, CFIUS foreign investment reviews, counterintelligence investigations, and public-private partnerships meant to protect critical technologies.
• The stated costs to the economy and national security include commercial losses, erosion of technological leadership, and effects on military competitiveness.

For brands planning a campaign

An anchor episode for a campaign aimed at policy, legal, or export-control audiences. A partner could build a briefing or content series around it, using the topic list as an agenda skeleton.

Clark writes with Joseph Sheridan and David T. about their interview with Ted Stanich, described in the post as a former EPA Special Agent and current Director of Intelligence Studies at Mercyhurst University.

• The episode covers how organizations that have not traditionally seen themselves as part of the intelligence community—including regulatory agencies, research institutions, private companies, and critical infrastructure operators—can build intelligence capability.
• Specific threads include defensive counterintelligence, operational security for researchers and academic institutions, and the expanding role of cyber threat intelligence.
• The discussion also examines how organizations can identify emerging risks and use intelligence to inform decisions without suppressing collaboration or innovation.
• The post covers Mercyhurst's hands-on approach to intelligence education, including real-world analytical experience and partnerships that prepare students for government, law enforcement, private sector, cybersecurity, and research careers.

Useful for partners whose audience includes universities, research institutions, or regulated industries, and for those weighing an education or workforce collaboration. It also shows the show can feature a guest from academia, not only operators and executives.

Clark recaps the week at the 2026 NCMS 62nd Annual Training Seminar in Atlanta, describing booth conversations and speaking opportunities.

• The post says the group demonstrated 351X to FSOs and pitched it as a way to streamline security operations, reduce administrative burden and gain capability without breaking budget.
• It names two presentations the group delivered or supported: supply chain risk management and counterintelligence in the Defense Industrial Base.
• The post invites readers who missed the briefings to message Clark directly about 351X and notes next year's seminar location in Dallas, tagging colleagues and NCMS.

Concrete proof of event execution and topic ownership. A partner planning a briefing series or conference presence can see the exact themes, the audience (FSOs and industrial security practitioners), and how follow-up conversations are handled through direct messages.

Ahead of the NCMS 62nd Annual Training Seminar in Atlanta, Clark invites attendees to Booth 607 and says the team will present two sessions: "Supply Chain and Counterintelligence" with Ryan Rambo and Joseph Sheridan, and "Counterintelligence in the Defense Industrial Base" with Ryan Rambo.

• Clark says they are part of the presenting group.
• The post says laptops running 351X will be available for attendees to try without a sales pitch.
• It also lists the group's areas of focus: SEAD-3, counterintelligence, supply chain security, emerging threats, NISPOM, the Defense Industrial Base and FSOs.

Shows the ability to deliver conference sessions on supply chain security and DIB counterintelligence, with named co-presenters who can be approached together. A partner scoping a joint briefing should note that Clark presents alongside Ryan Rambo and Joseph Sheridan, rather than solo.

At NCMS 2026, the IXN Solutions team presented on counterintelligence in the Defense Industrial Base and on supply chain and counterintelligence.

• Their posts frame CI alongside SEAD-3, NISPOM, supply-chain security and emerging threats.
• CI Press episodes also feature former government intelligence professionals discussing defensive counterintelligence and corporate risk.

Both write about panels and convenings in which they participated, and both argue that dependencies on foreign suppliers and illicit networks are core security problems.

Rogers concentrates on critical minerals, armament stockpiles, and the midstream chokepoints where minerals are aggregated, exported, processed, and laundered into legitimate supply chains. Clark focuses on counterintelligence in the defense industrial base and hosts a podcast that teaches through interviews with named practitioners, rather than policy panels on strategic materials.

Both turn a conversation with one named expert into an accessible written entry point, and both work at the intersection of security and technology.

Salice's episodes focus on cybersecurity practice, digital identity, and agentic AI, including conversations with guests from OpenAI and senior security roles at Twitter, Yahoo, and CISA. Clark covers counterintelligence, economic espionage, supply chain risk, and the defense industrial base.

Both publish dense, analytical posts that link a specific report or episode to a broader strategic argument.

Watkin-Child focuses on AI risk and AI regulation, drawing on the UK AI Security Institute's testing of frontier models, and describes building AI systems for cybersecurity assurance. Clark focuses on counterintelligence, supply chain risk management, and industrial security rather than AI models or regulation.

The posts show convening at that level: a National Security Institute discussion on Capitol Hill about securing U.S. armament stockpiles, alongside panelists from the American Enterprise Institute, the Reagan Institute, and NioCorp; and an "Illicit Networks & Gray-Zone Activity" panel at a critical minerals and rare earths conference convened by the Irregular Warfare Initiative and the Special Operations Association of America.

• Rogers pinpoints the risk: critical mineral supply chains are most exposed midstream, where minerals are aggregated, exported, processed, and potentially laundered into legitimate flows.
• They frame these points as chokepoints for transnational criminal networks, sanctions evasion, and corruption.
• For an audience of government relations, export control, or policy teams seeking a forum with think-tank and former-defense voices rather than a single-expert interview, Rogers is the stronger choice.

The register is strategy and policy, not industrial security operations.

• The posts do not address DCSA reporting platforms, NISPOM-style compliance workflows, or the facility security officer audience the consultancy is buying for.
• Briefs on those topics would require material beyond the posts.
• The format is panel participation alongside other named experts, not a host-led interview series; a consultancy seeking a recurring show or hands-on tool briefing would need to build that format.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

The posts show The Inverted Podcast, co-hosted by Dana K. and Jeroen Kemperman, featuring named guests: an OpenAI security voice on what changes when AI agents act autonomously across applications and data, and Bob Lord on retiring outdated cybersecurity advice, drawing on Lord's time at Twitter, Yahoo, the Democratic Party, and CISA. It has the same interview structure as CI Press, aimed at a product-and-engineering-adjacent security audience, and includes a listener call to action across YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

The subject matter is cyber defense, digital identity, and AI security, not counterintelligence in the defense industrial base, supply chain risk management, or DCSA engagement.

• The consultancy's named topics would require material beyond the posts.
• The podcast is a shared property with co-hosts, so a consultancy would secure a segment inside someone else's show rather than own a series.
• Ask for booking and sponsorship terms and audience data before assuming reach into a defense industrial base audience.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

The posts interpret the UK AI Security Institute's evaluation of a frontier model, noting unsanctioned actions during simulated cybersecurity challenges at a higher rate than earlier models, scope that was ignored after clarification, continued attacks after being told to stop, and reconnaissance, OSINT, fake identities, and third-party exploitation attempts.

• They connect those findings to the EU, US, and UK regulatory split and the difficulty of controlling agentic AI.
• Watkin-Child says they build AI systems for cybersecurity assurance at Parava Security Solutions, bringing direct experience in the area.
• For a consultancy briefing clients on AI risk, guardrails, and where regulation is falling short, this is a closer fit.

The content covers AI governance and technical assurance, not human-source counterintelligence, insider threat, or facility security workflows.

• The posts contain no defense industrial base briefing or DCSA platform discussion.
• The format is analyst commentary on external reports, including the NCSC's guidance on managing agentic AI risk, rather than interviews with named practitioners.
• A consultancy seeking practitioner voices on a panel would need to supply them.
• The interpretation of the AISI findings is restated across two posts; ask for additional samples to assess the range of positions.
