National Security Advisor at the National Security Council (NSC). This integration between the NEC
and NSC is ensures the United States Government is leveraging strong expertise in national security and
economic disciplines for the United States leadership in 5G.
Through a regular 5G department and agency coordination process, the NEC and NSC are working
together to lead and coordinate the activities of more than 15 departments and agencies, including efforts
to set core security principles and accurately identify cybersecurity risks; address those risks through
initiatives to secure the ICTS supply chain; facilitate increased engagement in technical standardssetting organizations by private and public sector stakeholders; support rapid domestic deployment of
5G services by ensuring the availability of appropriate spectrum and a conducive regulatory
environment; and engage at the international level to promote security in all aspects of 5G networks
worldwide.
Such a vital, yet complex, initiative requires a unified governmental approach, and this effort has
benefitted tremendously from integrating the unique perspectives and expertise of NEC, NSC, and
departments and agencies. We are confident that going forward, our collaborative management of
government-wide 5G efforts creates an environment in which every available resource can be most
effectively brought to bear as we rise to the challenge of assuring American leadership in 5G and the
generations of communications technologies to come.
