Director Wray: We’ve got to keep building trusted relationships with all of you, so that you know, with confidence, that we’re here to help. I really do believe it’s the only way we can maintain & strengthen our firm footing as the world continues to shift around us.

Director Wray: Nation-state actors are also targeting academia, including professors, research scientists, & graduate students. They seek our cutting-edge research, our advanced technology, & our world-class equipment & expertise.

Director Wray: In our country, the vast majority of critical infrastructure & intellectual property is in the hands of the private sector…you’re on the front lines. You know the risks, you know the weak spots, & you’re more likely to see emerging threats coming down the road.

Director Wray: While I hear about the same threats & the same concerns everywhere I go, I also hear about how much more effectively we’re working w/ partners across the board, w/ whole new levels of teamwork. That’s exactly the kind of thing we need to keep building on every day.

Director Wray: But we can’t tackle all these threats on our own. We’ve got to work together, particularly with those of you in the private sector. We need to focus on a whole-of-society approach, because in many ways we confront whole-of-society threats.

Director Wray: We’ve got Legal Attaches stationed around the world to focus on joint investigations and information sharing.

Director Wray: Our folks in the #FBI are working their tails off every day to find & stop criminals, terrorists, & nation-state adversaries. We’re using a broad set of tools…& we’ve got task forces across the country, w/ partners from hundreds of local, state, & fed agencies.

Director Wray: Taken together, these are generational threats that will shape our nation’s future. They’ll shape the world around us. They’ll determine where we stand and what we look like 10 years from now, 20 years from now, 50 years from now.

Director Wray: Overlaying all these threats is our ever-expending use of technology: next-generation telecommunication networks, like 5G, the rise of AI and machine learning, cryptocurrencies, unmanned aerial systems, & deep fakes.

Director Wray: They’re using an expanding set of non-traditional methods, weaving together things like foreign investment & corporate acquisitions w/ #cyber intrusions & supply chain threats…They’re calculating. They’re focused. They’re patient and persistent.

Director Wray: Put plainly, China seems determined to steal its way up to the economic ladder, at our expense. And, the U.S. is by no means their only target. They’re strategic in their approach, and they actually have a formal plan to achieve dominance in critical areas.
