The FBI s InfraGard Program
The Birth of InfraGard The National InfraGard Program began as a pilot project in 1996, when the Cleveland FBI Office asked local computer security professionals to assist the FBI in determining how to better protect critical information systems in the public and private sectors. From this new partnership, the first InfraGard Chapter was formed to address both cyber and physical threats.
InfraGard Purpose Mitigate Criminal- and Terroristbased Threat, Risk and Loss Provide opportunity to exchange ideas, information and security practices between the private sector, law enforcement, other first responders, government and academia. Provide members with timely threat/risk advisories, alerts and warnings. Provide a conduit to act as a force multiplier for the FBI and DHS Host regular meetings on timely topics of concern and importance to our critical infrastructure sectors
