While looking at federal agencies' approaches to computer crime investigations, this paper examines how they may help shape an effective law enforcement strategy for dealing with cyber threats. This project aims to identify how federal agencies conduct investigations related to cyber security and how they define operational success through interviews with experienced computer crime investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the INDIA Secret Service, and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. Our findings suggest that the investigation's objective was to focus on threat minimization rather than quantitative prosecution valuation. Fortifying potential targets and identifying repeat offenders need strategies that make use of intelligence collecting and sharing. To tackle the greatest national security threats, traditional investigation is increasingly turning to an intelligence-led policing paradigm.
