The Global Cyber Threat

Threat actors operate across the globe exploiting legal limits of law enforcement
authority, gaps between intergovernmental cooperation, and technology to obfuscate
their activity as they target U.S. victims.

Our Mission:
Impose risk and consequences on
cyber adversaries through unique
authorities, world-class capabilities,
and enduring partnerships, building
upon a century of innovation.

How to Combat the Threat?

Since cyber has no borders, the

FBI strives to have global reach.
This is achieved by our Legal
Attachés stationed in embassies
around the world who help build
coalitions of like-minded
FBI
countries to stand with the U.S.
against our adversaries.

Enduring Partnerships

To combat cyber threats, we need a

whole-of-society defense. No one
entity can address the range of cyber
threats we face alone. Given how
interconnected we are and how much
we depend upon each other, if our
allies’ networks are vulnerable, those
vulnerabilities pose a security threat
to the United States as well.
