Cybercrime: When to call in the FBI

28.07.2006

Arena: You'll probably get hit again. The only way to stop this is to get these people off the streets.

Day: Also, it shows a lot of social conscience for the company to try to get them off the street rather than letting them hit the next company. That they are trying to get the people convicted, that not only sends a message to criminals who want to try that in the future, but also gets these people off the streets so they don't hit the next company.

What programs do you offer to support businesses?

Arena: We have the InfraGard program. It's a public/private partnership that was first formed by the FBI in 1997, and now we're throughout the country. It brings together the financial community, the banking community, the gas companies, the phone companies -- basically, what we consider the critical infrastructure of this country -- and opens up communications. At every chapter meeting, we pass along trends [and] they learn from each other.
