Arizona InfraGard

WELCOME TO ARIZONA INFRAGARD
GUARDING THE NATION'S INFRASTRUCTURE Program Schedule for 2010


Arizona InfraGard protects the nation’s infrastructure and people through information sharing in partnership with the FBI.

Because our members are vetted by the FBI, we can do information sharing: member to member, FBI to and from members, Intelligence bulletins to and from members, the Department of Homeland Security to members.

Arizona InfraGard is an alliance between the Arizona Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and individuals committed to protecting the nation’s infrastructure and its people. The members, who are representative of all infrastructure sectors, public and private, identify and mitigate physical and cyber threats through information sharing. Arizona InfraGard promotes best practices, security awareness and training, community outreach, and the exchange of information between law enforcement and infrastructure owners and operators. Currently 86 InfraGard chapters throughout the United States interact with each other and through a national board with organizations such as the , the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the U.S. Small Business Administration, and others. More detailed information on the National InfraGard effort may be found at www.infragard.net.

The Arizona chapter coordinates quarterly meetings on security issues. Some meeting are open to the public and some are closed to Members only. Past events have featured presentations by security and information technology experts on a variety of physical and cyber security issues. In addition the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have given presentations on various programs and operations. More details on InfraGard activities can be found at www.azinfragard.org.

The key to protecting the nation’s infrastructure and people through information sharing is by involving as many individuals and organizations in the information sharing process as possible. So the more people sharing information on sound security practices, on threats and vulnerabilities, the safer our country will be.

The InfraGard application is available at www.infragard.net and www.azinfragard.org.
