This document explores the complex challenges problematic researchers pose to U.S. national security, supply chains, and critical infrastructure. Highlighting cases like Dr. Charles Lieber's, it underscores the threats of intellectual property theft by malign foreign actors through open research cultures. Advanced analytics, integrating historic, real-time, and public data, are presented as essential tools for identifying and mitigating these risks. IPC Global’s implementation of a Qlik solution exemplifies a proactive approach, enhancing investigative capabilities by connecting diverse data sources, automating forensic activities, and improving data visualization. The document stresses the importance of safeguarding against the exploitation of research gaps by foreign talent programs, advocating for a comprehensive strategy that includes leveraging cloud technologies for secure information sharing and adopting strict governance measures. It reflects on the broader implications of these challenges for U.S. defense spending and the strategic advantage afforded to adversaries through cost-effective IP theft, calling for a unified response to protect sensitive technologies and strengthen supply chains against such vulnerabilities.
