it helps keep the nation safe from foreign attacks
The National Security Council is an advisory board to the President. It has no specific powers. Its purpose is to collect and analyze all information which pertains to US national security (that is, anything which threatens the physical or economic well-being of the US), and advise the President as to the nature, level of threat, and possible solutions to such problems. The NSC is the primary advisory body looking for multi-focal, long-term, and/or broad-based threats to US security.
The NSC receives information from a whole host of services, through primarily from four sources: (1) various national intelligence agencies (CIA, FBI, DIA, NSA, etc.) (2) US Military (3) State Department (particularly, the Foreign Service), and (4) international mass media. The NSC does NOT engage in intelligence gathering of its own - rather, it is an analytical body (it determines the meaning and relevance of other people's information).
