The Complexities of Today's Security Challenges
The Director of the FBI has said that the bureau has counterterrorism investigations underway in all 50 states, underscoring the gravity of the "insider" terrorism threat in the United States. Simultaneously, terrorists from abroad, especially "foreign fighters" from among ISIL's ranks in Iraq/Syria, are seeking to enter Western countries, including the United States, to carry out attacks. Complicating matters further, technology innovation is advancing so quickly that terrorists are leveraging these advancements, making it easier for them to plot and plan undetected by counterterrorism professionals. Director Comey will address the complexity of today's security challenges and how and the FBI is working both at home and with global partners to confront them.
James Comey, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation
