InfraGard is a cooperative undertaking
between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and an association
of businesses, academic institutions, state and local law
enforcement agencies, and other participants that is dedicated
to increasing the security of the critical infrastructures of
the United States of America.
In conjunction with our national organization, the Dayton
Chapter of Infragard serves to increase the flow of information
among members of the private and public sectors on issues of
physical and computer infrastructure security. We hope this
website will provide a forum to support the organization and
development of this chapter. We urge you to contact us with
your ideas on how this site might better serve your
needs.
Why Do We Need Infragard?
In the United States, most infrastructure components are
privately owned and operated. These infrastructure systems are
becoming more complex and vulnerable because the systems are
increasingly interconnected, heavily automated, and sometimes
global in scope. The government and private sectors have a
wealth of information on threats to our infrastructure.
InfraGard serves as a link through which this information can
be safely shared and analyzed.
The threats on which InfraGard focuses fall into three general
categories: unstructured threats such as insiders, or
recreational and institutional hackers; structured
threats from organized crime, industrial espionage, and
terrorists; and national security threats such as those
posed by foreign intelligence agencies and information
warriors.
