D.1: Computer Intrusions and Malicious Code

Identify and neutralize the most significant individuals or groups conducting computer intrusions, the dissemination of malicious code, or other computer supported operations.

Other Information:

The FBI must increase its capability to identify and neutralize enterprises and individuals who illegally access computer systems, spread malicious code, or support terrorist or state-sponsored computer operations. The FBI will proactively investigate counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigative cyber related threats having the highest probability of threatening national security. To do so requires the FBI to constantly upgrade its skills and technology to meet the evolving threat. Priority Actions: Reduce the cyber intrusion threat by fully identifying the scope, objectives, methods, and operations of perpetrators, specifically targeting those affecting national security. Working with DHS, develop a comprehensive list of cyber related targets for monitoring and protection. Increase the number of Cyber Action Teams available for rapid deployment to enhance operational response to cyber events that have a significant impact on the United States or its interests. Increase the breadth and depth of human sources that have first-hand knowledge of computer intrusions.
