National Risk Assessment Coordination Model
The United States requires the capabilities to manage technological cold war risks. The N.R.A.C.M is a structured, intelligence-driven approach to unify federal agency actions, strengthen risk governance, and enhance national resilience. The NRACM helps the U.S. manage cyber, supply chain, and critical infrastructure risks. It brings government agencies together, shares information quickly, and works to reduce threats from foreign technology to keep the country safe and secure.The goal of N.R.A.C.M is to
- Strengthened cyber workforce pipelines to support federal, defense industrial base, and critical infrastructure missionsA national risk assessment for the technological cold war requires standardized methods that allow government and industry to assess risk consistently.
- A unified national risk assessment framework for China-related cyber, supply chain, and information risks
- Interagency coordination mechanisms to synchronize policy across DoD, DHS, ODNI, DOJ, DOE, State, and the private sector
- Integrated supply chain governance tying cyber, physical, and hardware risks into a single evaluation model
- Improved intelligence sharing with defense contractors and critical infrastructure operators
- Reduced dependency on Chinese manufacturing through domestic innovation and allied cooperation
