The FBI New Orleans Field Office has launched a cybersecurity awareness campaign to educate private sector businesses and organizations in Louisiana about the growing threat of cyberattacks. The campaign will run through September 2022 and will include media engagements, a social media campaign, and presentations to local industry groups. Louisiana is home to the oil and gas industry, numerous small businesses, and world-renowned universities and colleges, making the state a target-rich environment for cybercriminals and nation-state actors. FBI New Orleans encourages organizations of all sizes to partner with us before a cyber incident occurs.
“FBI New Orleans’ Cyber Task Force remains committed to investigating and combating any malicious cyber activity targeting private sector and academic institutions across the State of Louisiana. In addition to agents, analysts, and computer scientists who track and counter emerging cyber threats, we work closely with law enforcement and cybersecurity agencies throughout the state. “We strive to protect our residents and we need your help working together to strengthen our country’s cyber defenses,” said Douglas A. Williams, Jr., special agent in charge, FBI New Orleans.
Current Cyber Threats
If you or your organization is the victim of a network intrusion, data breach, or ransomware attack, contact FBI New Orleans at 504-816-3000 or report it at https://tips.fbi.gov/
In addition to partnering with FBI New Orleans, the most vital step a company or organization can take to protect itself is to implement good cyber-hygiene practices.
Preventive Steps
Remember, while a cyber breach may be new to you—it is not new to the FBI—and we want to work with you to mitigate the threat. Working together as partners, we can protect your company and our nation’s critical infrastructure.
