Conclusion

National security stakeholders across the government can now act in concert to carry out the implementation plans for the 16 Priority Objectives to realize the goals in the Strategy. Through the execution of this Implementation Plan, departments and agencies will advance the Strategy’s goals by enabling the policy-compliant sharing and safeguarding of information. Implementation will enable authorized users to discover and retrieve critical information, thereby driving decisions to protect our country and its people. Success depends upon the collective ability to manage risk and achieve the proper balance between sharing and safeguarding, to build on past accomplishments, and to continue progress implementing the Information Sharing Environment. As we work together, hold ourselves accountable, and take ownership to advance the Strategy’s goals, we will achieve success.
