The NSTAC advises the President on matters related to national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications and cybersecurity policy. Agenda: The NSTAC will hold a conference call on Thursday, November 16, 2017, to deliberate and vote on the final draft of the NSTAC Report to the President on Internet and Communications Resilience which addresses ways in which the private sector and Government, together, can improve the resilience of the Internet and communications ecosystem (e.g., against botnets). In May 2017, the National Security Council (NSC), on behalf of the President, and as part of Executive Order 13800, Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure, Section 2 (d), requested that the President's NSTAC examine how the private sector and Government could improve the resilience of the Internet and communications ecosystem. The report examines threats within the Internet ecosystem and possible solutions, ranging from short-term remedies to long-term solutions. The NSTAC's goal is to inform the Administration's efforts to set cybersecurity priorities and develop policies to deepen Government and private industry cooperation. The report provides specific recommendations for the private sector and the Government. The draft NSTAC Report to the President on Internet and Communications Resilience can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/publication/2017-nstac-publications. Dated: October 25, 2017.
