Business and Industry: Partners in Our Cyber Mission
The FBI’s cyber mission is to impose risk and consequences on our cyber adversaries through our unique authorities and world-class investigative capabilities.The success of that mission depends on partnerships—those we have with law enforcement and intelligence agencies worldwide and those we have and continue to build with the private sector. Our private sector partners play an integral role in defending against a cyber threat that no one agency can face alone.In the last few years, we’ve seen a significant increase in cyberattacks against our private sector companies, critical infrastructure, and government agencies. With supply chain attacks, intellectual property theft, and ransomware attacks, the stakes could not be higher.Together, we can get ahead of the threat and make an impact on our cyber adversaries.What Businesses Should Know
