The DHS guidance was called for in a recent White House <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/critical-infrastructure-memorandum-ppd-21\/\">policy update<\/a> to clarify how the federal government interacts with the private sector that makes up the vast majority of U.S. critical infrastructure owners and operators. The new DHS document outlines the agency\u2019s role in the update moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the banking system to the electric grid, from health care to our nation\u2019s water systems and more, we depend on the reliable functioning of our critical infrastructure as a matter of national security, economic security, and public safety,\u201d Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2024\/06\/20\/secretary-mayorkas-outlines-national-priorities-critical-infrastructure-security\">statement<\/a>. \u201cThe threats facing our critical infrastructure demand a whole of society response and the priorities set forth in this memo will guide that work.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>National security officials are <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/fbi-warns-china-preparing-for-disruptive-attacks\/\">increasingly concerned<\/a> about the potential for <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/jen-easterly-cisa-funding-congress-critical-infrastructure-china\/\">Beijing to disrupt critical infrastructure<\/a> in the event of a conflict over Taiwan, and the guidance document reflects as much. The first \u201cpriority risk area\u201d in the document concerns Beijing\u2019s apparent willingness to target critical infrastructure with disruptive or destructive means. The document also points to other \u201cgray zone\u201d activities \u2014 like financial investments in infrastructure, espionage, and insider threats posed by Beijing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cAttacks targeting infrastructure essential to protect, support, and sustain military forces and operations worldwide or that may cause potential disruptions to the delivery of key goods or services to the American people must be our top priority,\u201d DHS wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Other national priorities are securing critical infrastructure from the risks posed by artificial intelligence and supply chain vulnerabilities, and ensuring that climate considerations are taken into account.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, DHS pointed to the potential risk from the increasing dependency critical infrastructure sectors have on space systems. That dependency is now so ingrained and essential to sectors like energy, food and agriculture, and telecommunications that many experts have called for space systems to be designated as a <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/space-critical-infrastructure\/\">new critical infrastructure sector<\/a>, an idea that <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/biden-national-security-memorandum-critical-infrastructure\/\">did not pan out in the recent White House policy update<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>DHS\u2019s announcement is one of many from the Biden administration around critical infrastructure recently. At the G7 meeting in Italy this week, the U.S. and allied countries pledged to establish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/06\/18\/statement-from-national-security-advisor-jake-sullivan-on-the-global-effort-tostrengthen-the-cybersecurity-of-energy-supply-chains\/\">voluntary guidance for operational technologies<\/a>, like those that manage the grid and water utilities. The Department of Energy, meanwhile, released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2024-06\/Final%20Supply%20Chain%20Cybersecurity%20Principles%20061424.pdf\">supply chain cybersecurity best practices<\/a> guide, which several of the world\u2019s largest OT manufacturers have agreed to follow.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"1.265\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"9\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dhs-releases-critical-infrastructure-priorities-for-next-two-years-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Christian Vasquez\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Christian Vasquez<\/h4>\n<p> Christian covers industrial cybersecurity for CyberScoop News.
