Sabre was among the 23 companies that were recent recipients of The Defense Security Service’s 2008 James S. Cogswell Outstanding Industrial Security Achievement Award. Chosen from a pool of 12,000 defense contractors subject to annual inspection, the winners met criteria focused upon principles of industrial security excellence. Factors included establishing and maintaining a security program that far exceeds the basic National Industrial Security Program requirements; and providing leadership to other cleared facilities in establishing best practices while maintaining the highest standards for security.

The Cogswell award, established in 1966, was titled in honor of the late Air Force Col. James S. Cogswell, the first chief of industrial security within the Department of Defense. Cogswell was responsible for developing the basic principles of the Industrial Security Program, which include an emphasis on the partnership between industry and government to protect classified information.
