Video Transcript
My name is Matthew DeSarno, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Dallas.
And I’m Ross Perot, Jr., chairman of the Perot Companies and Hillwood.
DeSarno: In the last few years, we’ve seen a significant increase in cyber attacks against our private sector companies, critical infrastructure, and government agencies.
Perot: A cyber breach can cause lasting harm to your business and its stakeholders, which is why partnering with your local FBI field office should be one of your top priorities.
DeSarno: The first step is getting to know your local FBI cyber team and the current threat environment.
Perot: If you haven’t already, develop a formal incident response plan, and include the FBI in that plan.
DeSarno: Next, report the compromise. Whether you experience a breach, or your team identifies something out of the ordinary, share that information early and often. You can contact your local field office day or night, or file a report at www.IC3.gov.
Perot: Remember, cyber risk is business risk.
DeSarno: And cybersecurity is national security. Together, we can defend America’s values, ingenuity, critical infrastructure, and business equities through robust and enduring partnerships.
