U.S. financial services make progress on business continuity

Published 22 March 2006

The Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council (FSSCC) for Critical Infrastructure Protection and Homeland Security issued its 2005 annual report detailing progress for the year. The FSSCC was created in 2002 in the wake of 9/11 under Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7. The FSSCC is a private-sector group of financial institutions and industry associations. The report offers details of progress made and steps yet to be taken to strengthen the sector’s resilience even more.

FSSCC also offers a number of reports dealing with a wide range of topics, including sector preparations for a possible avian flu pandemic, lessons learned from phishing attacks, and the need for regional infrastructure protection coalitions, to name a few.
