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.
