A importância do credenciamento de segurança de entidades privadas vinculadas ao Comando da Aeronáutica

Abstract

The lack of safety culture in Brazilian society is a worrying factor for the Intelligence community in Brazil. Including defense companies, which make up the Industrial Defense Basis, face the consequences of neglect with investments in security. The globalization phenomenon is unfair, imposes competition, creates opportunities and threats. In this context, adverse Intelligence takes advantage of the concept of Competitive Intelligence, very common in the corporate world, and goes beyond the limits of what is legal, when using actions such as industrial espionage, sabotage and cyber attacks to obtain advantages in this environment of commercial, economic and defense dispute. Aware of this scenario, after the Access to Information Law went into effect in 2012, several laws have emerged in order to guide and standardize the treatment of classified information in this threat environment. Thus, this essay aims to demonstrate the importance of the application of these laws, by the Air Force Command, not only as a simple compliance of the current law, but as a fundamental activity of maintaining the safety mentality in these companies, and alignment to the national interests. After a bibliographic and documentary research, data and reports were analyzed that confirmed the hypothesis presented when revealing that private entities, when submitted to the security clearance process, in general, have strengthened their security culture, through the use of increasingly effective practices to safeguard sensitive knowledge, which is presented as the main asset and strategic resource of these organizations.
