stepped-up Chinese threats, enhanced confrontation of adversaries in cyberspace and quicker intelligence sharing with industry as the bureau enters the second and final month of a unique cybersecurity awareness campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Brett Leatherman, who took over as assistant director of the FBI\u2019s cyber division <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/fbi-cyber-division-brett-leatherman-assistant-director\/\">last summer<\/a>, listed those topics as his three top priorities in a recent interview with CyberScoop. At least two of them overlap considerably with the bureau\u2019s current awareness campaign, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/file-repository\/operation-winter-shield-slick.pdf\/view\">Operation Winter SHIELD<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the kind of thing that might normally be more expected to come out of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which once had its own <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/shields-up-easterly-inglis-op-ed\/\">shield-themed campaign<\/a>, rather than the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019ve never done a media campaign like this before,\u201d he said. \u201cBut while it\u2019s atypical for a law enforcement agency to do this kind of technical media campaign, we thought it was incredibly important because it translates that law enforcement perspective [into] meaningful ways that industry can move the needle towards increased resilience across critical infrastructure, industry, government agencies and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As part of the campaign, the FBI is highlighting 10 recommendations, like protecting security logs and implementing phishing-resistant authentication, that stem from the FBI\u2019s incident response mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 10 recommendations that we\u2019re making right now are not a surprise to many people out there who work or have cyber over the last few years, but it\u2019s important that we also highlight that these 10 controls are the ways that we continue to see actors getting into fortune 100 businesses and small to medium businesses in virtually 99% or greater of the investigations we run,\u201d Leatherman said.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign has involved localized events for industry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z_47_G0zKj4\">podcasts<\/a>, international appearances, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/2026\/02\/05\/the-security-implementation-gap-why-microsoft-is-supporting-operation-winter-shield\/\">coordinated messages<\/a> with cyber-focused companies and more. They sometimes emphasize different threats based on where they\u2019re held, or specific cases that demonstrate how not following the 10 recommendations has led to a past real-life breach. <\/p>\n<p>In the Honolulu field office, for instance, the FBI held a cyber executive summit with critical infrastructure owners and operators and other key partners. There, the emphasis was on how Hawaii is a potential target of Chinese hackers, especially with the possibility of a People\u2019s Republic of China <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/taiwan-china-cyberattacks-2025-energy-hospitals-nsb-report\/\">invasion of Taiwan<\/a> in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Securing 2027 is the first priority for Leatherman as assistant director of the cyber division. The idea is to \u201cdefend the homeland against an increased PRC targeting of the homeland,\u201d should a China-Taiwan conflict have U.S. spillover.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Leatherman\u2019s second priority is better contesting U.S. adversaries in cyberspace, with joint, sequenced operations \u2014 \u201ctechnical operations through our lawful authorities to remove capacity and capability from the adversary.\u201d That includes looking for ways to enhance those operations with AI.<\/p>\n<p>And his third priority circles back to information sharing with industry. Leatherman said the FBI has some unique cyber threat intelligence capabilities and wants to share it more quickly, so it can have an immediate impact.<\/p>\n<p>Leatherman said Winter Shield is meant to serve as a complement to CISA\u2019s work and vice-versa. The international component of the campaign still has an eye on the homeland, he said. \u201cWe\u2019re helping partners understand the Internet is so interconnected now, companies are international, and if you just do this work here in the homeland, you\u2019re at risk of actors targeting your international operations and pivoting into U.S.-based work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The second Trump administration\u2019s approach to the FBI has raised concerns from Congress, former agents and elsewhere about whether the bureau\u2019s cyber focus is <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/senators-fbi-director-patel-clash-over-cyber-division-personnel-arrests\/\">being curtailed<\/a>. The bureau has lost <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/top-senate-intel-dem-warns-of-catastrophic-cyber-consequences-of-trump-admin-national-security-firings-politicization\/\">veteran leadership<\/a>, and FBI data that a top Senate Democrat released points to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2025\/10\/08\/fbi-agents-reassigned-immigration\/\">personnel being shifted<\/a> to immigration-related tasks, including those drawn from cyber work. The administration has also proposed budget cuts for the bureau.<\/p>\n<p>And the FBI\u2019s parent agency, the Justice Department, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/justice-department-will-disband-its-team-focused-on-cryptocurrency-crimes\">shut down<\/a> a team that combats cryptocurrency crimes amid industry backlash toward U.S. government actions in cases like <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/tornado-cash-sanctions-overturned-lazarus-group\/\">Tornado Cash<\/a>, which the Biden administration accused of abetting money laundering from ransomware outfits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Leatherman said FBI Director Kash Patel and other bureau leaders have been strong backers of the FBI\u2019s cyber mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have not moved resources from [the] cyber division,\u201d he said. \u201cWe still have our virtual asset unit, we still have our Virtual Currency Response Team, all those teams responsible for tracking the stolen crypto from\u201d North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re doing regular tracing. We\u2019re trying to seize that when we can,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve increased our ability to target nation-state actors given the support of FBI leadership, so we have not moved resources off the threat and we continue to prioritize both threat actor pursuit and victim engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"7.7216117216117\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-fbis-cyber-chief-is-using-winter-shield-to-accelerate-china-prep-threat-intelligence-sharing-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Tim Starks\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-card__details\" readability=\"10.901098901099\">\n<h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Tim Starks<\/h4>\n<p> Tim Starks is senior reporter at CyberScoop.
