Infrastructure Protection/Computer Investigations
Agents and analysts integrate law enforcement and counterintelligence network information to protect people, technology and facilities by:
- Identifying trends
- Pursuing criminal action against perpetrators
- Supporting counterintelligence operations
- Coordinating with other national intelligence and law enforcement agencies
The NCIS program has computer investigations and operations agents assigned throughout the world focusing on hackers, criminal groups, foreign intelligence services, terrorists, and insiders.
In the days of the Wild West, a criminal's tool of choice was the revolver. Today, it's a computer. Computers have become integral pieces of evidence in crime scenes. Every NCIS special agent needs to know how to seize, protect, and transport a computer and related devices so that the evidentiary value isn't compromised. To that end, NCIS teamed up with its investigative counterparts within DOD to create the Defense Computer Investigative Computer Training Program.
