Digital Economy Cybersecurity Advisory Act of 2023

The Digital Economy Cybersecurity Advisory Act of 2023 establishes a new 5- to 25-member advisory board within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The board, composed of cybersecurity experts from government, private sector businesses, network operators, and technology vendors (excluding lobbyists), will provide recommendations on securing networks, supply chains, and fostering innovation in digital infrastructure. It focuses on practical policies like protecting critical protocols (e.g., Border Gateway Protocol) and removing barriers to trust in information networks. The board will serve for up to 4 years before terminating, with members appointed by the NTIA Assistant Secretary without pay.
