The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will establish a security council to protect against cyberattacks, with a focus on combating threats from foreign adversaries, especially the Chinese Communist party.
These attacks aim to disrupt the US infrastructure and weaken critical services.
The council will work towards ensuring the US wins the strategic competition with China in critical technologies like AI, satellites, 5G, and quantum computing, as well as reducing foreign supply chain dependence.
The FCC's move to address cyber threats is part of the US government's effort to consolidate resources from various agencies to tackle growing cybersecurity risks.
