2. General. The month of September has been designated as NITAM and serves as a nationally recognized opportunity for increasing insider threat (InT) awareness to promote safety, economic stability, and national security within public and private sector organizations. The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, in coordination with the National Insider Threat Task Force, and the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, establishes the annual theme for NITAM and provides DoD Components with guidance on the execution of their NITAM efforts. 
3. This year’s theme “Partnering for Progress” underscores the importance of collaborative efforts across the DoD and with our external partners to strengthen our collective defense against insider threats. 
4. Marine Corps participation in NITAM 2025.  4.a. The Marine Corps Insider Threat Program (MCInTP), shall lead the NITAM effort for the Marine Corps.  4.b.
