The NCSC is not the IC CI “boss.” The National Counterintelligence and Security Center leads & supports the US counterintelligence (CI) and security activities and provides CI outreach to private sector entities at risk of foreign intelligence penetration.

The Office of National Counterintelligence Executive (ONCIX) and National Counterintelligence Board were established on January 5, 2001 by President Clinton replacing the National Counterintelligence Center, created in 1994 in response to the arrest of CIA mole Aldrich Ames.
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.With this reorganization, the ONCIX ceased to exist as a separate organization.
The NCSC facilitates and enhances US counterintelligence efforts and awareness by enabling the CI community to better identify, assess, prioritize any counterintelligence threats from foreign powers, terrorist groups, and other non-state entities; ensures the CI community
acts efficiently and effectively; and provides for the integration of all US counterintelligence activities. The NCSC:
• Exploits and defeats adversarial intelligence activities directed against US interests.
• Protects the integrity of the US intelligence system.
• Exploits and defeats adversarial intelligence activities directed against US interests.
• Protects the integrity of the US intelligence system.
• Provides actionable intelligence estimates to decision-makers at all levels.
• Protect vital national assets from adversarial intelligence activities.
• Neutralize and exploit adversarial intelligence activities targeting the armed forces.
• 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.
While NCSC 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. The Office of Counterintelligence of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency maintains a full-time presence within NCSC.
Each of the 17 IC members conduct their own specific counterintelligence efforts against their specific mission areas through eight specific CI agencies. The NCSC coordinates the efforts of the separate IC members into a national CI effort.

I partnered with FBI, AFOSI, DCHC, and CIA to prevent foreign penetration of 17 multicomponent space systems during Operation NOBLE EAGLE, Operation ENDURING FREEDOM, Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, and global operations supporting & executing the
Global War on Terror on behalf of the Commander, Air Force Space Command, the Commander, United States Strategic Command, the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence.
As NIO for 17 space systems, I drafted the Russian cyber threat TOR for the NIE on Soviet Cyber Threats.
I wish the Obama Administraton had read the NIE in order to not allow a US President to embarrass himself. https://twitter.com/demelaatse/status/1266080115282243584
