Thread by @FBI

#FBI Director Christopher Wray participated in the World Economic Forum's cybersecurity summit today to discuss the heart of the FBI’s cyber strategy: working with government and private partners to tackle the cyber threat as a global community. @wef ow.ly/JsLN50Cmhqg

Wray: At the #FBI, we’ve been fighting the cyber threat for many years now. ... We’ve become known for our efforts to call out destabilizing and damaging #cyber activity by nation-state actors. But we are also particularly focused on the threat posed by cybercriminals. @wef

Wray: Just like we’ve done throughout our 112-year history of fighting crime and terrorism, our goal is to impose risk and consequences on bad actors in cyberspace—whoever and wherever they are. @wef

Wray: An essential prong of [our] strategy is to leverage our enduring #partnerships—in both investigating cybercrime and raising the costs to criminal actors. That means we’re leveraging the information we obtain ... to also enable our partners to take action. @wef

Wray: And, vitally, that information arms private-sector network defenders around the world with technical indicators they need to protect themselves as well as the ability to shut down criminal infrastructure and kick bad guys off their platforms and networks. @wef

Wray: The point isn’t who claims credit. It’s achieving safety, security, and confidence, for all of us, in our digitally connected world. @wef

Wray: We’re taking all the tools at our disposal and bringing them to the table so that we can fight this threat together … because today’s economy lives, in large part, in the #digital realm.

Director Wray also commended the forum’s publication of Partnerships Against Cybercrime, a report that explores how public-private cooperation can help tackle the global challenge posed by cybercrime. #FBI cyber experts contributed to the report. @wef ow.ly/dOEJ50Cmhz5
