#FBI Deputy Assistant Director Tonya Ugoretz will provide remarks regarding the FBI’s cyber strategy at #CyberTalks today at 10:50 a.m. #NCSAM2020 @CyberScoopNews ow.ly/oUhD50BXwuT

Ugoretz: The cyber threats we're most concerned about involve foreign actors using global infrastructure to compromise U.S. networks. It’s not the type of threat activity that any single U.S. agency or private entity [can] anticipate, detect, and respond to completely on our own.

Ugoretz: Our strategy is to impose risk and consequences on our cyber adversaries—those who for too long have believed they can compromise U.S. networks, steal U.S. financial and intellectual property, and hold our critical infrastructure at risk—all without incurring any risk.

Ugoretz: The most important aspect of our strategy is the role the FBI plays as an indispensable partner. We have a unique role as the lead domestic federal agency with law enforcement and counterintelligence authorities.

Ugoretz: As an intelligence agency, we can see adversary intentions and threats; as a domestic agency with a broad national presence, we can engage with you on what we see; and as an operational agency, we can act.

Ugoretz: We can use our information ... not only to pursue our own actions, but to enable our many partners to do what you need to do whether that’s to defend your networks, attribute malicious activity, sanction bad behavior, or ... take the fight to our adversaries overseas.
