The National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) is a United States government advisory council, which advises the President of the United States on the security of information systems in banking, finance, transportation, energy, manufacturing, and emergency government services.[1] The George W. Bush Administration's executive order 13231 of October 16, 2001 created the NIAC,[1] and its functioning was last extended until September 30, 2023 by executive order 14048 of the Biden Administration.[2]
In August 2017, the NIAC gained national attention when 8 of the 28 members resigned. They believed that President Donald Trump had given "insufficient attention to the growing threats to the cybersecurity of the critical systems upon which all Americans depend."[3]
