This strategy has been adopted by the Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council for Critical Infrastructure Protection and Homeland Security (the FSSCC). The FSSCC was created in 2002 to foster and facilitate financial services sector-wide voluntary activities and initiatives designed to improve critical infrastructure protection and Homeland security.

The FSSCC has identified three US strategic security objectives:

* Preventing terrorist attacks within the United States,
* Identifying and reducing vulnerabilities to such attacks, and
* Ensuring the resiliency of the nation to minimise the damage and expedite the recovery from attacks that do occur.

The Financial Services Strategy document identifies efforts in the financial services sector to achieve the above objectives.
