Protect the Internet: Prevent activity that intentionally and substantially damages the general availability or integrity of the public core of the Internet.

Defend Intellectual Property: Prevent information and communications technology-enabled theft of intellectual property. Such as trade secrets or other confidential business information. It provides a competitive advantage to information holder.
Non-Proliferation: Develop ways to prevent the proliferation of malicious software and practices intended to cause harm.
