New York Metro InfraGard

What New York Metro InfraGard does

New York Metro InfraGard, legally Infragard New York City Metro Members Alliance Inc. (NYM-IMA), is an independent non-profit organization founded in 1996 and operating as the NYC Metro chapter of the InfraGard National Members Alliance (INMA). The organization's mission is to facilitate collaboration and information sharing between the FBI and the private sector for the protection of New York City and surrounding areas' critical infrastructure. Its members are FBI-vetted U.S. Citizens and Legal Residents who serve as subject matter experts across critical-infrastructure sectors including Healthcare, Financial Services, Information Technology, Commercial Facilities, and emerging technology areas (AI, Blockchain, Quantum Technologies), as well as Insider Threat, Maritime, Aviation, and Automotive verticals.

The organization provides a portfolio of membership services rather than a unified software product. Core offerings include the InfraGard Membership Program (free to vetted members, providing access to Sensitive But Unclassified / FOUO information and secure communication channels), regular in-person and virtual chapter meetings and events hosted at high-credibility venues (NY FBI Field Office, Federal Reserve Bank of NY, Morgan Stanley, Cisco Systems, utility companies, and universities), sector-specific working groups that drive threat-sharing and best-practice development, and curated resources aggregating IC3.gov alerts and FBI press releases specific to NYC. The entity has no proprietary technology stack, API, or mobile application; its value is delivered through community coordination, the FBI partnership, and event programming rather than software.

The revenue model is non-commercial: membership is free, and the organization is funded through individual donations (PayPal) and event sponsorships (notably the inaugural Golf Classic with Bronze-tier sponsors including 360-Privacy and Eve by T-Mobile). Distribution is via the national infragard.org portal for vetting/onboarding, supplemented by direct engagement (events, webinars, email, LinkedIn). Governance rests with a Board of Directors and Executive Officers led by President Compton Noble, with the FBI providing an embedded Special Agent Coordinator (Christle Lendore) who assists with program management, training, and venue access. The organization reports over 1,500 members and files no disclosed revenue.

Broad incumbents

• ISACA: Global professional association for IT governance, risk, and cybersecurity professionals. Comparable as a vetted-membership, working-group-driven organization serving critical infrastructure security professionals.
• Information Systems Security Association (ISSA): Nonprofit membership organization for cybersecurity professionals with local chapters and working groups. Comparable community-led membership model for security professionals.
• ASIS International: Global professional association for security management professionals with chapters, certifications, and events. Comparable as a security professional membership body, though broader (corporate/physical security) and without FBI affiliation.
• (ISC)²: International nonprofit membership association for cybersecurity professionals offering certifications (CISSP) and member communities. Overlaps with NYM InfraGard's cybersecurity-focused members and CISO working group.

Direct peers

• FS-ISAC (Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center): Financial-sector-specific information sharing and analysis center facilitating threat intelligence exchange among financial institutions. Directly comparable as a sector-specific threat-sharing community serving critical infrastructure.
• FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association (FCAA): Alumni association for graduates of the FBI Citizens Academy program, which InfraGard members also participate in. Closely comparable as an FBI-affiliated civic membership community in the public-private partnership space.
• InfraGard National Members Alliance (INMA): National parent organization of the NYC Metro chapter. INMA operates the same FBI-affiliated public-private membership model across all 56 FBI field offices, making it the most directly comparable peer.

Others

• Fusion Centers (e.g., NYSIC): State and regional intelligence fusion centers that serve as hubs for information sharing between law enforcement and private-sector partners. Adjacent to InfraGard's public-private information sharing mission but operate as government entities.
• Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA): Federal agency within DHS responsible for critical infrastructure security and cybersecurity. Adjacent as the federal counterpart that NYM InfraGard members collaborate with, though not a membership organization.

Regional players

• International Information System Security Certification Consortium — (ISC)² New York Metro Chapter: Local chapter of (ISC)² serving cybersecurity professionals in the NYC metro area with regular meetings and events. Comparable as a regional, security-professional, chapter-based membership community.
