Chartered in 2005, the Communications Sector Coordinating Council (CSCC) coordinates industry engagement with the U.S. government on cyber and infrastructure security, resilience, and risk reduction.
In the ever-evolving landscape of national security and emergency preparedness, the communications sector plays a pivotal role. As we delve into the accomplishments of last year and into 2024 it becomes evident that robust and resilient communications networks are essential for safeguarding our nation.
The communications sector faced broadly impactful security events that underscored the need to reexamine resiliency and national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP). Cyber threats, both sophisticated and persistent, targeted critical infrastructure networks. These attacks ranged from ransomware incidents crippling critical enterprises to state-sponsored attacks that jeopardize availability of essential services.
The value of the communication sector’s public-private partnership lies in its ability to strengthen resilience, share critical information, and forge innovative solutions – all vital components for safeguarding our nation during emergencies.
