The Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council, or FSSCC for short, was established in 2002 by financial institutions to work collaboratively with key government agencies while coordinating critical infrastructure and homeland security activities within the financial services industry. We are an industry-led non-profit organization and our mission is to bring together our members from financial services, trade associations, and other industry leaders to assist the sector’s response to natural disasters, threats from terrorists, and cybersecurity issues of all types. The FSSCC partners with the public sector on policy issues to enhance the security and resiliency of the United States financial system. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recognizes the FSSCC as a member of the Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council on behalf of the banking and finance sector.
