In short order, we will get to the compelling business value of sponsoring InfraGard Atlanta, but first, we would like you to understand why we exist and what we do.
Why: The Critical Mission of Protecting America’s Infrastructure
Imagine a world without power grids, functional communication networks, financial systems, or reliable healthcare facilities. These are not just conveniences; they are the foundation of our economy and way of life. Protecting these critical infrastructures is not optional – it is essential to national security. Yet, the threats we face today are more complex and pervasive than ever.
From ransomware attacks to nation-state-sponsored cyber espionage, organizations must be vigilant every day, while adversaries only need to succeed once. The situation has been difficult, but it’s getting worse. Recent FBI, NSA, and CISA reports have highlighted a “strategic shift” by foreign adversaries like China, moving from espionage to preparing for destructive cyberattacks targeting our national security, economy, and public health. This war is no longer fought in faraway lands – it’s happening in your offices, through your networks, and against your partners.
That’s where InfraGard Atlanta comes in. By connecting critical infrastructure owners, operators, and stakeholders with the FBI and other federal agencies, InfraGard provides unparalleled resources to defend against these threats.
