Alliance for Critical Infrastructure (ACI) has officially launched as an industry-led nonprofit coalition to improve U.S. national resilience. Its purpose is to bring together critical infrastructure owners, operators, and industry representatives so they can share information, plan together, and coordinate faster when threats emerge. Industrial Cyber describes ACI as the next step after more than a decade of work under the Tri-Sector Executive Working Group, with a stronger focus on cross-sector resilience planning, crisis management, and faster decision-making during major incidents.

In practical terms, ACI says it wants to identify systemic risks, build and test resilience plans, and support a more coordinated response to cyber, physical, and geopolitical threats. The group will use a tiered membership structure and says it will work not only with member companies but also with sector organizations and government partners. The article also highlights several founding members—including AIG, AT&T, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Consolidated Edison, JPMorganChase, Lumen, Mastercard, Southern Company, and Xcel Energy—to show that the coalition is designed as a broad, cross-industry effort rather than a single-sector initiative.
