Who We Work WithThe C3i Group works in collaboration with public-privateindustry, government, and academia, leveraging strategicinteragency and international cyber-counterintelligencecommunity partnerships to safeguard intellectual property (IP)and technologies which, if compromised, would dramaticallyimpact innovation, competitive intelligence, and economic-national security.

The C3i Group focuses on all aspects of computer crime and incident response including the provision ofleadership pertaining to intrusion investigations,cybercrime law, digital forensics, and informationassurance, as well as the research, development, testing,and evaluation of digital forensic tools.

Through education, information, and collaboration, the C3iGroup enables its partners to identify cyber-counterintelligencevulner-abilities within their organizations and increase theirawareness of threats to organizational, economic, and nationalsecurity.

C3i Group - Targeting Campuses of Higher Education: Sensitive, Proprietary, and Classified Information andIntellectual PropertyForeign and domestic businesses compete internationally andoften leverage their intelligence assets to spy on otherbusinesses or academic institutions in an effort to gainadvantage in a fiercely competitive economic environment. Dueto the open nature of academic institutions, and theirinvolvement in cutting-edge research and development, they areoften leading targets.

To accomplish their goals, duplicitous or opportunistic actors ororganizations may use a variety of methods such as:n Hacking/computer intrusions n Collection of sensitive research and development n Utilizing/recruiting students or visiting professors to collect

information n Sending spies for language and cultural exchanges, training,

or to establish credentials n Funding or establishing university research and development

programs

Some foreign governments provide information and resources,including competitive intelligence gathering and corporateespionage on behalf of their indigenous companies, as a way topromote the overall economic well-being of their country.Foreign intelligence services pursue restricted information andseek out people who have, or will eventually have, access torestricted information. Individual entrepreneurs may capitalizeon opportunities to bring new technology or services to theircountry in order to fill a niche currently supplied by non-nativecompanies.

The open environment of campuses of higher education may be leveraged in order to: n Steal technical information or products n Bypass expensive research and development n Recruit individuals for espionage n Exploit the student visa program for improper purposes n Spread false information for political or other reasons

In support of global academic initiatives, the C3i Grouppromotes communication and information sharing among keypublic-private entities, and generates positive continuousdialogue between security organizations, the cyber-counterintelligence community, national security partners, andthe academic community regarding security issues andconcerns.

Our Roles and ResponsibilitiesThe C3i Group works with interagency partners and the securityindustry, collecting information intelligence related to risksemanating from cyberspace. We provide direction andleadership to industry, focusing on the intrinsic risks and threatsposed by: potential shortcomings in the cyber informationsecurity infrastructure; actions of non-state actors, cyber-terrorists, and criminals; foreign business competitors andgovernments intent on illegitimately acquiring proprietaryinformation and trade secrets.

Ultimately, to protect and secure intellectual property (IP), C3isupports the prevention and detection of serious crime through:n Identifying threats and security opportunities earlyn Shaping security research and development to prevent threats

from emergingn Development of significant intelligence relationships with the

'Five Eyes' (US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) n Investing in security and business intelligence partners to

develop practical programs, security capacity, and skills training
