The White House has unveiled National Security Memorandum 22 (NSM-22) with the aim to fortify and improve the resilience of U.S. critical infrastructure from various threats for future generations. This initiative marks a crucial step towards bolstering and modernizing U.S. risk management practices, including engaging with international partners and allies.

In a bid to safeguard the President's investments in U.S. infrastructure amidst challenges posed by adversaries, climate change, strategic competition, and supply chain disruptions, the White House has initiated a comprehensive government-wide endeavor. Emphasizing the importance of public-private collaboration, this modernization drive underscores a commitment to establishing minimum security and resilience standards across all critical infrastructure sectors.

The Bureau of Counterterrorism, serving as the Department's primary entity in the holistic approach to combat terrorism globally and safeguard the United States against foreign terrorist threats, plays a pivotal role in this effort. Additionally, the Department of State is actively working towards advancing the goals outlined in the NSM through continuous engagement, cooperation, and capacity-building initiatives with foreign governments and international organizations to enhance the security and resilience of critical infrastructure on a global scale.
