U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

AN ALLIANCE FOR NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION

2/24/2022

Public/private partnership is the key to protecting our national security interests.

The mission of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is to protect the American people and uphold the U.S. Constitution. InfraGard is a unique partnership between the FBI and the private sector for the protection of U.S. critical infrastructure and the American people. As one of the nation’s largest public/private partnerships, InfraGard connects critical infrastructure owners, operators, and stakeholders with the FBI to provide education, networking, and information-sharing on security threats and risks. Critical infrastructures are those systems and assets – whether physical or virtual – that are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof.

With tens of thousands of members nationwide, InfraGard’s membership includes: corporate security managers, directors and C-suite executives, cybersecurity and IT professionals, chief information security officers, financial services executives, healthcare professionals, emergency managers, military and government officials, academia, state and local law enforcement, and more—all dedicated to contributing industry-specific insight to advance national security. Today, there are members in more than 77 local InfraGard Member Alliances (IMAs), represented nationally by the InfraGard National Members Alliance (INMA).

Membership Requirements:

Defending our nation’s most critical assets

The mission of the InfraGard program is to enhance our nation’s collective ability to address and mitigate threats to United States critical infrastructure by fostering collaboration, education, and information-sharing through a robust private sector/government partnership.

To accomplish this mission, InfraGard promotes ongoing dialogue and timely communication between its members and the FBI through local, regional, and national programs. This two-way exchange of information equips InfraGard members with the knowledge, information, and resources to protect their respective organizations, while the FBI benefits from private sector engagement, insight, and expertise that can help prevent terrorism, cybercrime, espionage, and more.

• Employed or formerly employed within critical infrastructure for at least three years.

• At least 18 years of age on the date of application completion.

• U.S. Citizen (U.S. Citizen by birth as defined by 8 USC 1401-1409 or a U.S. Citizen by Naturalization as defined by 8 USC 1421-1459).

• Complete the InfraGard membership application form in its entirety.

• Agree to the InfraGard information-sharing policy, privacy act statement, agreements to hold harmless and code of ethics.

• Consent to a security risk assessment and to periodic re-confirmation of the security risk assessment. The risk assessment is a process completed by the FBI which includes local, state, and federal criminal history, and other security-related database checks. Successful completion of the security risk assessment does not equate to a security clearance (InfraGard members are not given security clearances by the FBI).
