About Us - VSAC
VSAC is an informal, non-profit association of defense contractors,
the Department of the Air Force, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
and the Defense Security Service. These organizations have joined together
to promote security awareness in the Defense Industry by focusing the
collective energy and resources of industry and government in the Vandenberg
AFB, CA, area. No single entity can do this astounding job alone. To

History
In March 1991, several dedicated security professionals
met at Vandenberg AFB to discuss how to improve the security awareness
in the Vandenberg area. These individuals’ goals were to help each
other by sharing resources and time in an effort to make security education
more efficient. The result was VSAC.
With the world situation as it is and an ever-tightening budgetary belt,
it was evident we were going to have to provide more training with fewer
individual resources. It was a logical progression that VSAC should become
a reality. As a result, VSAC has improved security education and reduced
costly duplication.
VSAC received the prestigious NCMS Information Security Award at the
38th NCMS National Training Seminar, July 2002 in Fort Worth, TX.
Objectives
- Act as a clearing house to more effectively manage resources and
reduce duplication.
- Create awareness programs that relate to the Vandenberg
area.
- Enhance the realization of company managers and employees that sound
security practices are essential to contracts, profits, and jobs.
