SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NSTAC is established under the authority
of Executive Order (E.O.) 12382, dated September 13, 1982, as amended
by E.O. 13286 and 14048, continued under the authority of E.O. 14109,
dated September 30, 2023. Notice of this meeting is given under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. 10 (Pub. L. 117-286).
The NSTAC advises the President on matters related to national security
and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications and cybersecurity
policy.
Agenda: The NSTAC will meet in an open session on Thursday, May 23,
2024, from 3:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT to discuss current NSTAC
activities and the government's ongoing cybersecurity and NS/EP
communications initiatives. This open session will include: (1) an
update on the administration's cybersecurity initiatives; (2) a keynote
address;(3) an update on current NSTAC activities; and (4) a status
update on the NSTAC Principles for Baseline Security Offerings from
Cloud Service Providers Study.
The committee will also meet in a closed session from 1:00 to 3:00
p.m. EDT during which time: (1) senior government intelligence
officials will provide a threat briefing concerning threats to NS/EP
communications; and (2) engage NSTAC members in follow-on discussion on
how future studies can help inform policy to mitigate threats.
Basis for Closure: In accordance with section 10(d) of FACA and 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), The Government in the Sunshine Act, it has been
determined that a portion of the agenda requires closure.
These agenda items are the: (1) classified threat briefing and
discussion, which will provide NSTAC members the opportunity to discuss
information concerning threats to NS/EP communications with senior
government intelligence officials; and (2) potential study topic
discussion. The briefing is anticipated to be classified at the top
secret/sensitive compartmented information level. Disclosure of these
threats during the briefing, as well as vulnerabilities and mitigation
techniques, is a risk to the Nation's cybersecurity posture because
adversaries could use this information to compromise commercial and
government networks. Subjects discussed during the potential study
topics discussion are tentative and are under further consideration by
the committee.
Therefore, this portion of the meeting is required to be closed
pursuant to section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) because it
will disclose matters that are classified.
Dated: April 18, 2024.
Christina Berger,
Designated Federal Officer, National Security Telecommunications
Advisory Committee, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency,
Department of Homeland Security.
