Infrastructure Protection/Computer Investigations

NCIS monitors critical Department of the Navy networks to learn what our adversaries are looking for—whether its scientific research, ships' schedules, or financial data. Agents and analysts integrate law enforcement and counterintelligence network information to protect people, technology and facilities by:

  • Helping Navy and Marine Corps commands identify and shore up weak points
  • Identifying trends
  • Developing targeting information
  • Providing indications and warning to detect future attacks before they occur
  • Pursuing criminal action against perpetrators
  • Supporting counterintelligence operations
  • Coordinating with other national intelligence and law enforcement agencies

The NCIS program has computer investigations and operations agents assigned throughout the world focusing on hackers, criminal groups, foreign intelligence services, terrorists, and insiders.

In the days of the Wild West, a criminal's tool of choice was the revolver. Today, it's a computer. Computers have become integral pieces of evidence in crime scenes. Every NCIS special agent needs to know how to seize, protect, and transport a computer and related devices so that the evidentiary value isn't compromised. To that end, NCIS teamed up with its investigative counterparts within DOD to create the Defense Computer Investigative Computer Training Program.
