CIRCIA Reporting Requirements and Potential Impact on Colleges and Universities
Description
In March 2022, President Biden signed into law the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 (CIRCIA). Enactment of CIRCIA marked an important milestone in improving America’s cybersecurity by, among other things, requiring the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to develop and implement regulations requiring covered entities to report covered cyber incidents and ransomware payments to CISA. These reports will allow CISA to rapidly deploy resources and render assistance to victims suffering attacks, analyze incoming reporting across sectors to spot trends, and quickly share that information with network defenders to warn other potential victims. Although the legislation is done, the proposed rule for implementation has not been finalized. A comment period is now open until July 3, 2024.
Please join us for an interactive webinar to discuss the details of the proposed rule and how to submit feedback.
