Membership

Who should join InfraGard?
InfraGard members work for a variety of organizations that constitute the critical infrastructure of our nation (banks, utility companies, chemical companies, hospitals, telecommunication service providers, universities, and many others). Members often hold management or operational positions related to physical or cyber security, risk assessment, business continuity / disaster recovery, and engineering.
How do I join InfraGard?
Follow the instructions here.
Is the InfraGard application records check the same as a security clearance?
The InfraGard application process requires an FBI criminal records check. This is NOT the same as a US government security clearance background investigation. InfraGard membership does not grant the member a "security clearance". Persons who are InfraGard members may, as appropriate, state that they have passed the "FBI’s InfraGard Records Check". InfraGard members may NOT state more generally that they have passed an FBI Background Check.
