FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JDL Technologies, a recognized leader in providing managed IT services, information technology infrastructure, and HIPAA-compliant information technology, today announced that it has been accepted into the InfraGard Member Alliance. InfraGard is an FBI outreach program whose mission is to foster information-sharing between the private and public sectors for the purpose of protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure.
“InfraGard members represent business, education, state and local law enforcement and others committed to sharing information to detect and thwart hostile acts against our critical infrastructure,” said Scott Fluegge, President and General Manager of JDL Technologies. “JDL Technologies provides network and data security to a wide range of organizations, and we’re proud to support the InfraGard initiative as a member of the InfraGard South Florida Alliance.”
InfraGard has subject matter experts in 16 categories of critical infrastructure and key resources, including Information Technology, throughout the U.S. InfraGard has the guidance and support of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and each InfraGard chapter is geographically linked with an FBI Field Office. By utilizing the talents and expertise of the InfraGard network, information is shared to mitigate threats to the physical and cyber-based systems that are essential to the minimum operations of the economy and the government.
According to the InfraGard website, “The protection of our nation’s critical infrastructure, much of which is owned by private-sector companies, cannot be accomplished by the federal government alone.”
