In addition to “using all tools” to disrupt cybercriminals and hold them accountable, the Department of Justice (DOJ) this week announced a new strategic approach to combating cybercrime. This approach also includes promoting cybersecurity through public education initiatives. The department will make sure it has the right tools and regulations in place to stop cyberthreats and assist victims. This is one of the initiatives that the agency’s criminal division will spearhead.
The DOJ’s approach to intellectual property enforcement will be developed by the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section, which will also be in charge of working with the FBI and foreign partners on ransomware cases and intellectual property cases. Additionally, CCIPS will handle the hazards associated with new technologies like virtual money.
“We appreciate DOJ’s continuing efforts to combat cybercrime targeting the U.S. critical infrastructure, including the health care sector,” said John Riggi, AHA national advisor for cybersecurity and risk. “The AHA believes in not only a whole-of-government approach to use all law enforcement, intelligence, and military capabilities to disrupt these state-supported groups, but we also believe in a whole-of-nation approach. That’s why the AHA continues to work closely with the federal government to help them understand the threat to life impact these attacks have and encourage cooperation from the field to exchange valuable threat information.”
