What is the purpose of the actions approved by the CNSS?

The approved actions by the CNSS (Committee on National Security Systems) are primarily intended to ensure effective management of national security systems. This encompasses the establishment of policies, guidelines, and best practices aimed at protecting the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of national security information and systems. Such management is crucial for safeguarding national interests against various threats, including cybersecurity risks, and enhances inter-agency coordination within the federal government. By focusing on effective management, these actions aim to create a more resilient and secure infrastructure essential for national security operations.
