The government would be required to review whether communications equipment and services from certain companies pose national security risks, particularly examining products from foreign entities that might be used in critical U.S. infrastructure or military systems. This review would help determine if there are vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hostile nations or actors to spy on or disrupt American communications. The findings would inform decisions about which companies are allowed to sell their products and services to U.S. government agencies and critical infrastructure operators.
