As you may be aware, official Government information and its associated

sensitivity. In this lesson, we'll focus on the policies and procedures for
classifying this information and technology, and then we'll discuss the
protection procedures for Controlled Unclassified Information ( CUI ) and
Foreign Government Information ( FGI ) . First we'll examine how classified
information is designated and protected, then examine the importance and
construct of Security Classification Guides . Then we will address how CUI and
FGI differ from other types of unclassified official information and how their v
rotection rocedures are different from classified information.
