LETTER FROM
YOUR PRESIDENT
Dear Members Friends of InfraGard,
As we finalized this Annual Report on our activities to protect our critical infrastructure from attack, the
news is overwhelmed with details, questions, and speculation about the terrorist attack in California
that killed 14 innocents who devoted their lives to caring for people with the San Bernardino County
Department of Public Health.
My heart is heavy and my mind is frustrated – how can the media ask this question?
Meeting after meeting, our Board struggles to develop and provide the resources you need to prevent this, or other even more common attacks, from
reaching your workplace and impacting our way of life. It is such a complicated and difficult task.
Just off the top of my head, this scenario reaches nearly all of the top priorities we have identified to help you protect yourselves:
Insider threat – it seems that Syed Rizwan Farook joined his colleagues at their holiday party, then returned to the party and in a hail of bullets
murdered them.
Active shooter – Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik entered the Inland Regional Center with guns and fired 65-75 rounds of ammunition
at the gathering.
Radicalization – while there are no definitive answers right now on who radicalized whom, the FBI suspects that Malik may have radicalized her
husband to perpetrate this murder. At their home were more weapons and bombs they were unable to use before being killed by law enforcement in a
shoot out.
While we are all prone to believe that “this won’t happen to me” – each of you has signed up for InfraGard to do everything you can to assure it does not.
But that is exceedingly difficult. And it is a heroic, noble, and often thankless job.
Theextentofthisstruggleisrelativelynew.AftertheeventsofSeptember11th–the9/11Commissionfoundthatpoliticians,reportersandcitizenswereasking
the same questions: Why didn’t the FBI know? Why didn’t our government put 2+2 together? How do we assure this does not happen again?
And with that, the mission of our law enforcement partners changed dramatically. Their job was no longer just to catch and convict criminals, terrorists
and other wrong-doers. Their job now was to see into people’s hearts. To find the clues that would identify people like Farook or Adam Lanza (who
killed 26 at Sandy Hook Elementary school) BEFORE they committed their horrific acts.
And, incredibly, our FBI partners do it every day. They find, and foil attacks that we know about and so many more that we do not know about. They do
this under extremely adverse circumstances often being told that they should not use even the most basic tools to combat highly technological, and
advanced adversaries.
While politicians consider curtailing further law enforcement tools and grapple with modernizing the law as fast as technology demands –
YOU are faced, daily, with the realities:
YOU must find the Insider threat.
YOU must prevent and prepare for your workplace to become a bloodbath.
YOU must protect your physical and IT systems from attack.
YOU must find, mitigate, and clean-up damage from cyber attacks.
YOU are the frontline.
We recognize this, and with the deepest respect and gratitude we offer this Annual Report to let you know how we work to support you. In 2016,
WE must overcome the challenges that stymie our ability to prevent our coworkers from being murdered.
WE must rethink our strategies and approaches against a ubiquitous threat that leverages all of today’s technology to terrorize, murder, steal, and
debilitate us.
WE must be laser focused on our mission to protect our people and critical infrastructure assets.
WE must work as a team to leverage our knowledge, to use the social media systems WE created to share information, to ask the questions that must
be asked to prevent another attack.
As a member of InfraGardNCR, you have joined this fight.
Your Board, our FBI partners, and many in the nation, thank you. We applaud and encourage you to continue our critical partnership and engage to
improve it.
Help us work as a coordinated, intelligent, informed team to protect and secure our nation.
Yours in Service,
Kristina Tanasichuk
President, InfraGardNCR
I just read an ABC headline that
said: FBI Under Fire: Why were
shooters not on FBI’s radar?

5. Dear NCR members,
2015 has been a busy, productive year for our chapter. Elsewhere in this annual report,
you’ll find a summary of our InfraGard programs for this calendar year as well as
highlights of our growth in membership. In short, we continue to work closely with your
Board of Directors to plan a variety of programs to help you, the owners and operators
of critical infrastructure, add value to your efforts to protect your assets more effectively
and to mitigate physical and cyber threats you face.
We spend a significant amount of our time planning and hosting programs and
processing new member applications. We offered InfraGard briefings this year to
audiences across the region, listed in the diagram among many others. We also
represented the chapter at multiple exercises this year, including a tabletop exercise
focused on a multi-sector response to a food-borne virus, and a comprehensive risk
assessment for a critical data center cluster led by the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security in our area.
We worked with the Board to continue our in-reach series, where experts from our
chapter come into FBI space to teach FBI Special Agents and Intelligence Analysts about
cutting-edge trends that directly affect our cases. This is a significant way in which you,
our members, “share information” with the FBI.
And of course, we serve as your single point of contact with the FBI. Throughout 2015,
we fielded questions and made referrals to colleagues based on a variety of issues you
brought to our attention, to include internet romance schemes, mortgage fraud, potential
acts of terrorism, spear phishing attempts, and apparent cyber intrusions. We encourage
you to reach out to us with any concerns or questions!
In 2016, we look forward to bringing you substantive programming that equips you with
tools to do your job even better. We will continue to recruit appropriate members for our
chapter. We shall maintain our publishing schedule of a weekly e-newsletter to keep you
informed about critical infrastructure intelligence products, open-source news reports,
and upcoming events of interest.
And we ask that you, in 2016, commit to sharing information with each other and with the
FBI. Since this is a founding principle of InfraGard, it’s one of our key areas of focus for
the coming year. You’ll hear more about this topic in the coming weeks – please check
your email for further details from us.
Thank you for being part of the National Capital Region chapter!

7. The Vision and Mission of InfraGardNCR
Our vision is to share information to prevent and mitigate any attack against our nation’s critical
infrastructure.
Our mission is to develop the platforms, tools and resources for information sharing,
peer-to-peer, between the private sector critical infrastructure owners and operators, and
between the private sector and the FBI.
InfraGard is a partnership between the FBI and the private sector. Our chapter is an association
of persons who represent businesses, academic institutions, state and local law enforcement
agencies, and other participants dedicated to sharing information and intelligence to prevent
hostile acts against the critical infrastructure of the United States.
InfraGard’s information sharing mission is supported at the highest levels of the U.S.
government. As recently as February 2015, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order
13691, which encourages private companies, nonprofit organizations, executive departments, and
agencies to voluntarily share cyber security information and incidents as a way to enhance the
collective cyber security of the United States.
InfraGardNationalCapitalRegionMembersAlliance
AnnualReport–2015
What is Critical Infrastructure?
“Critical infrastructure” refers to the
systems and assets, whether physical or
virtual, so vital to the United States that
the incapacity or destruction of such
systems and assets would have a
debilitating impact on security, national
economic security, national public health or
safety, or any combination of those matters.
There are 16 critical infrastructure sectors
identified by the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security, including: Chemical,
Commercial Facilities; Communications;
Critical Manufacturing; Dams; Defense
Industrial Base; Emergency Services;
Energy; Financial Services; Food and
Agriculture; Government Facilities; Health
and Public Health; Information Technology;
Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste;
Transportation; and Water and Wastewater
Systems.
In 2015, those critical infrastructures most
represented in InfraGardNCR include:
Information Technology, Financial Services,
Defense Industrial Base, and Government/
Commercial Facilities.

8. Where are we?
As our Board of Directors considered our strategic direction for 2016, we took some time to
look at where we are with our information sharing efforts. First – we looked to the progress
report, released in March 2015, on the FBI’s implementation of the recommendations in the 9/11
Commission report. The FBI: Protecting the Homeland in the 21st Century reviewed the FBI’s progress
on a number of fronts, ultimately concluding that the FBI “transformed itself over the last 10
years” and “made measurable progress building a threat-based, intelligence-driven national
security organization.”

WHERE ARE WE
ON INFORMATION
SHARING?

9. InfraGard is specifically mentioned as part of this transformation and generally was evaluated
with a number of other FBI-private sector programs:
“the FBI’s relationships across government
and the private sector are in various states
of evolution depending on the partner, but
the trendlines are generally positive. The
FBI has done a good job in investing in these
relationships, and has detailed or assigned its
special agents, intelligence analysts, and other
professional staff to a wide array of federal
agencies while at the same time hosting these
agencies’ personnel at the FBI. The Review
Commission applauds these efforts and
encourages continued investment in these
relationships.”
The report further states specific to
InfraGard that: “The current limitations on
InfraGard stem from the fact that InfraGard
coordinators are part-time, and InfraGard
is viewed as cyber-focused, when in fact it
could have a broader portfolio. If InfraGard
were to broaden its focus, however, it would
make even more sense to realign it under
the Director of Private Sector Engagement
(p.95).”
As our members know, although
InfraGardNCR may be perceived as a “cyber”
program, we in fact provide resources
and have a broad membership in physical
asset protection as well. One of our largest
member segments is the government
facilities sector.
In November 2015, the Bureau acted on the
Commission’s recommendations and aligned
the InfraGard program under the Office of
Private Sector.
Second we went back to the 9/11
Commission report. The 9/11 commission
report called for the nation to:
“Determine, with leadership from the
President, guidelines for gathering and
sharing information in the new security
systems that are needed, guidelines that
integrate safeguards for privacy and other
essential liberties.” Additionally, the report
stated that the system of “need to know”
should be replaced by a system of “need
to share” through a “unity of effort” for
information sharing.
Our chapter has seen the commitment and
focus of our FBI InfraGard coordinators, and
their leadership from the Washington Field
Office. There is no question that the FBI is
deeply committed to making this partnership
work. The private sector also wants to add
value and work with the FBI to enhance
InfraGard’s value but has some legitimate
and still unaddressed challenges: limitations
on the ability to share amongst each
other particularly for small and mid-sized
companies, lack of timely and actionable
intelligence, and maintaining a two-way
conversation once information is shared.

Sector Chief Program
InfraGard’s Sector Chief Program (SCP) escalates communication across the organization by enlisting
industry’s top subject matter experts as liaisons to facilitate information sharing and communication
between the FBI, local InfraGard Members Alliances (IMAs), and area members. This added exchange
fuels the ability of the FBI and government partners to address threats to all 16 critical infrastructure
sectors. Sector chiefs also promote key insight into their designated industry sector. Their specific
expertise elevates the value of incident response exercises and helps tailor member training programs
that increase awareness and build a collective knowledge base toward improved national security.

INFORMATION
SHARING
Information sharing is the backbone and mission of
InfraGard. But what does that mean? Ultimately it is
receiving information fast enough to allow you to act and
prevent or mitigate an attack. Given burgeoning social
media and information flying around at the speed of
“share on Facebook”, your chapter has taken significant
steps to get you “up to speed” on areas critical to our
mission.
We are focusing on developing the platforms that will
allow you to share URGENT, critical, and educational
information to inform your colleagues and build our
team of critical infrastructure protectors.
But we can build platforms all day long. We need YOU to
help populate and curate them.
The following initiatives highlight our efforts in 2015:
INFORMATION SHARING WITH YOU:
Chapter Newsletter - InfraGardNCR leadership
continues to focus on communicating with our members
in ways that add value to their jobs and to their
InfraGard membership. To that end, we have added
special features, often tied to InfraGard programs and/
or critical infrastructure monthly themes as established
by the Department of Homeland Security, as well as
standing features on cyber security news and relevant
posts from the InfraGard secure portal.
PEER-TO-PEER INFORMATION SHARING:
Social Media - Social Media is here whether you like
it or not. The terrorists use it to coordinate across the
globe....isn’t it time for us to dive in?? It is. Our Chapter
has increased engagement on Facebook, LinkedIn,
and Twitter. Sharing information in every way that our
members may receive their news continues to be a key
product of our “information sharing” efforts.
In addition to traditional social media, we initiated a
Flipboard page where members of the Board, sector
chiefs, and select members can “flip” articles of interest
to share with our membership.
Interested in sharing what you’re reading? Engage
with us as an identified or “anonymous” curator to
share information! Contact us to learn how to share the
information you are reading with your peers.
SIG Meetings - Throughout the year our Cyber SIG
has hosted monthly meetings to share information on
everything from the major cyber hack on the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) that compromised over
20 million people to the Presidential Directive on Private
Sector Cybersecurity Information Sharing issued in early
2015. The SIG also did significant in-depth training on
specific threats like the PlugX Malware.
FBI Briefings- Throughout the year our FBI partners
have joined us to provide the latest information on
cyber security threats, increased terrorist threats and
tactics, and the insider threat, in addition to extensive
information on cyber criminals and their vectors of
attack. They have discussed everything from broad
trends to more specific information on threats.
INFORMATION SHARING WITH OUR FBI,
INTELLIGENCE OTHER PARTNERS
FBI in-reach sessions
In 2015 we executed several new programs we’ve
deemed “in-reach” that came out of conversations
with our FBI partners at our 2014 Strategic Planning
meeting. These sessions bring SMEs from our chapter
in to discuss the private sector’s perspective and
strategies around top FBI priorities like alternate
currencies and the dark web.
Washington Regional Threat Analysis Center (WRTAC)
InfraGardNCR leadership met with Washington Regional
Threat Analysis Center (WRTAC) executives to assure
that we have a robust relationship and a more active
and engaged partnership. The Board is looking for a
member to represent InfraGard at the WRTAC – please
contact us to find out more.
Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments
(MWCOG)
The Board also reinvigorated our relationship with the
Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments –
providing input to their regional homeland security plan
and more systematically engaging with them on critical
infrastructure issues.
Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)
InfraGardNCR leadership also met with and discussed
areas of mutual concern with the Office of the Director
of National Intelligence, Office of Public Private
Partnerships. Together we discussed working more
closely on top concerns over information sharing among
the IC community and how to leverage resources they
are developing to combat common threats.
