The Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) priority programs share the common goal of protecting the nation's critical infrastructures and key resources against threats and attacks. In support of their mission, Bureau teams, including Cyber, Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and others, rely not only on seamless collaboration and dialogue within government, but also with private sector and academic partners. This exchange of expertise, strategy, and actionable intelligence with the FBI and among partners is pivotal to mitigating cyber threats and dismantling criminal activity and terrorism, and is at the core of InfraGard's mission.
Thousands of members, one mission: securing infrastructure
The FBI's InfraGard Members Alliance is an information sharing and analysis effort, combining the knowledge base, and serving the interests of, a wide range of private sector partners who own, operate, and hold key positions within some 85 percent of the nation's critical infrastructure. With thousands of members nationally, InfraGard's subject matter experts include business executives, entrepreneurs, military and government officials, computer professionals, academia, and state and local law enforcement; each dedicated to advancing national security.
While the FBI gains an improved understanding of the threatscape and a rich source of intelligence provided by the InfraGard organization, members are extended access to a host of information and assets that enable them to play a key role in securing infrastructure. In addition, members who utilize program benefits are better equipped to protect their investments by identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating vulnerabilities, developing incident response plans, and enacting the most current security best practices.
