Security threats have evolved significantly since the Sept 11 attacks. A top FBI official notes that cyberattacks are a major concern, particularly those launched by certain countries. These attacks can target critical infrastructure, such as electrical grids and hospitals.

The official, who has experience investigating past attacks, emphasizes the need for strong cyber teams to combat these threats. This includes being prepared to respond to ransom attacks and other forms of cybercrime.

Further details on the current security landscape and priorities are available from the FBI, including comments from a special agent in charge who has been with the agency since the early 2000s.
