HSI CYBER CRIMES CENTER

The Cyber Crimes Center (C3) was established in 1997 for the purpose of combating crimes
committed on, or facilitated by, the Internet. C3 comprises three units that bring together
highly technical assets dedicated to conducting trans-border criminal investigations of
Internet-related crimes within the HSI portfolio of immigration and customs authorities. C3 is
responsible for identifying and targeting any cyber crime activity in which HSI has
jurisdiction.

The HSI Cyber Crimes Center (C3) supports HSI’s mission through the programmatic
oversight and coordination of investigations of cyber-related criminal activity, and provides
a range of forensic, intelligence and investigative support services across all HSI
programmatic areas.

The HSI C3 strives to accomplish the following mission:

• Keep pace with emerging computer technology and cyber processes.
• Proactively use these new technologies to combat criminal activity and address
vulnerabilities.
• Disseminate to field offices and worldwide law enforcement and intelligence
organizations the most current trends, risks, procedures, lessons learned and
investigative leads.
• Support investigations into cyber related criminal activities and vulnerabilities with
state-of-the-art cyber investigative methods and computer forensic techniques.
