Abstract
The United States Secret Service (USSS) has reestablished a "Cyber Investigations Advisory Board (CIAB)," a Federal Advisory Committee, in order to "prevent and disrupt criminal use of cyberspace," as directed in the 2018 Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity Strategy (Pillar #3, Goal #4) and as identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security in 2021. This notice is not a solicitation for membership. The goal of CIAB is to provide the USSS with insights from industry, the public sector, academia, and non- profit organizations on emerging cybersecurity and cybercrime issues, and to provide outside strategic direction for the USSS investigative mission. The CIAB will serve a principal mechanism through which senior industry and other experts can engage, collaborate, and advise the USSS regarding cybersecurity and cybercrime issues.

AGENCY: United States Secret Service (USSS), Department of Homeland
Security, (DHS).
ACTION: Public announcement for the reestablishment of a Federal
advisory committee.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Secret Service (USSS) has reestablished a
``Cyber Investigations Advisory Board (CIAB),'' a Federal Advisory
Committee, in order to ``prevent and disrupt criminal use of
cyberspace,'' as directed in the 2018 Department of Homeland Security
Cybersecurity Strategy (Pillar #3, Goal #4) and as identified by the
Secretary of Homeland Security in 2021. This notice is not a
solicitation for membership. The goal of CIAB is to provide the USSS
with insights from industry, the public sector, academia, and non-
profit organizations on emerging cybersecurity and cybercrime issues,
and to provide outside strategic direction for the USSS investigative
mission. The CIAB will serve a principal mechanism through which senior
industry and other experts can engage, collaborate, and advise the USSS
regarding cybersecurity and cybercrime issues.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background on the U.S. Secret Service's Investigative Mission: The
U.S. Secret Service has been investigating and preventing financial
crimes since its creation in 1865. Today, the agency's investigative
mission has evolved to include safeguarding the payment and financial
systems of the United States from a wide range of financial and
computer-enabled frauds.
The Office of Investigations is the largest directorate within the
U.S. Secret Service, supporting protective responsibilities world-wide
and executing the founding mission of the Secret Service--to safeguard
the integrity of U.S. financial and payment systems. The Office of
Investigations accomplishes this mission through strategic objectives
that include: (1) Focusing on countering the most significant criminal
threats to the financial and payment systems of the United States
through criminal investigations; (2) Supporting protective
responsibilities through investigation of threats and safeguarding
persons, locations and events; (3) Growing and developing the Secret
Service workforce through strategic hiring and training.
FACA Exemption: Due to the law enforcement sensitive nature of the
discussions that will take place during committee meetings, the CIAB is
exempted by the Secretary of Homeland Security from the public notice,
reporting, and open meeting requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463, 5 U.S.C. ch.10), pursuant to the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, 871(a)[(6 U.S.C. 451(a))].
DATES: The CIAB will hold meetings twice annually at U.S. Secret
Service Headquarters in Washington, DC.
