Organization
InfraGard is a Partnership between Private Industry and the U.S. government (represented by the FBI). The InfraGard
initiative was developed to encourage the exchange of information by the government and the private sector members.
Private sector members and an FBI field representative form local area chapters. These chapters set up their own boards
to govern and share information within the membership. Each chapter is also part of an organization which is InfraGard.
The National Infrastructure Protection Center and the Federal Bureau of Investigation play the part of facilitator by:
- gathering information and distributing it to members
- educating the public and members on infrastructure protection
- disseminating information through the InfraGard network
- producing valuable analytical products on information received through the InfraGard network
- opening the doors of communication between government and private sector members.
History
The National InfraGard Program began as a pilot project in 1996, when the Cleveland FBI Field Office asked local computer
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.
