FBI Eyes Evolving Tech to Combat ‘Cybercrime as a Service’
FBI intelligence and law enforcement capabilities are keeping pace with technological change to respond to and prevent cyber threats.

This includes emerging threats like “cybercrime as a service.” The office’s Special Agent in Charge Wayne Jacobs, whose career as a law enforcement agent includes tackling violent crime and gangs, highlights these new emerging threats, how he’s prioritizing the evolving threat landscape, and how he sees technology supporting field agents to identify and track targets as well as communicate instantaneously.
