(Mattie Neretin\/CNP\/Sipa USA) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"single-article__content\">\n<div class=\"single-article__content-inner has-drop-cap\"> <html readability=\"39.130648129217\"><body readability=\"79.017145505097\"><\/p>\n<p>During a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing earlier this month in which <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/plankey-vows-to-boot-china-from-u-s-supply-chain-advocate-for-cisa-budget\/\">lawmakers considered if Sean Plankey is fit<\/a> to become director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, ranking member Gary Peters asked the CISA nominee how he would ensure the agency meets all of its statutory requirements, including those in the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022. <\/p>\n<p>The problem is, it can\u2019t. To meet the statutory deadline established by Congress, CISA will need to publish a final rule by October. That means CISA has two months left. <\/p>\n<p>Ever since CIRCIA was signed into law in March 2022, CISA has had every intention of meeting this deadline. I know that because I ran the program while at CISA, from the day it was signed into law through when I left government in January. <\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to take my word for it. CISA was shouting its commitment to this timeline from the rooftops. You can check the Unified Agenda \u2014 the government\u2019s official record of planned regulatory action \u2014 from both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reginfo.gov\/public\/do\/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202410&RIN=1670-AA04\">fall 2024<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reginfo.gov\/public\/do\/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202410&RIN=1670-AA04\">spring 2024<\/a>, both of which state that CISA was targeting an Oct. 4 final rule due date. These commitments are additionally reinforced by the updates provided in the <a href=\"https:\/\/bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/National-Cybersecurity-Strategy-Implementation-Plan-Version-2.pdf#page=22\">National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan<\/a> published by the Office of the National Cyber Director. The formal publications mirror the consistent public statements made by senior officials from CISA and the Department of Homeland Security over multiple years. <\/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>However, since January there has been silence from the agency regarding CIRCIA. Despite receiving hundreds of public comments <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/document\/CISA-2022-0010-0163\/comment\">on the CIRCIA Notice of Proposed Rulemaking<\/a>, which necessitates an internal policy process to decide how to respond to those comments and adjust the rule, the agency has made no public statements about its progress. <\/p>\n<p>There is no way for CISA to address hundreds of policy decisions, revise a 450-page piece of regulation, coordinate those revisions with all relevant agencies, and gain the necessary White House approval in two months. This work could have been accomplished had it been prioritized by the current administration on Day One. However, without a CISA director, that work does not appear to have occurred.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Sen. Peters\u2019 question, Plankey responded that he is \u201cgoing to empower those operators to operate.\u201d I know the operators who worked nights and weekends analyzing the public comments, modernizing existing technology systems, building new tools using CIRCIA funds appropriated by Congress, and expanding the agency\u2019s capacity to support victims ahead of CIRCIA\u2019s launch. I know those people are prepared to present critical policy matters to the next CISA director and to move quickly to draft a final rule. <\/p>\n<p>Peters also asked Plankey how he would achieve those goals amid budget cuts and the hundreds of personnel leaving the agency. While the CIRCIA program has faced personnel changes, its core staff remain committed to the cause. <\/p>\n<p>Congress has provided substantial funding for CIRCIA, but without a centralized division or subdivision dedicated to this work within the agency, it\u2019s hard for the program to protect and target these funds exclusively for CIRCIA\u2019s new requirements. Although not fully funded, the program has strong support, and the new director should ensure all resources and people appropriated by Congress for CIRCIA implementation are focused on preparing CISA to serve as the nation\u2019s central cyber incident repository. <\/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>Now that Plankey is poised to become the CISA director, I hope he will prioritize these statutory requirements from Congress and act immediately to advance the CIRCIA final rule for our national security. Plankey said that if confirmed he would like to \u201cget in, provide them the direction, tell them the hill we are going to take, and protect the American public from cybersecurity attacks on critical infrastructure.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>I hope that in partnership with the CIRCIA team, he does just that.<br \/><em><br \/>Lauren Boas Hayes is a cybersecurity and tech trust & safety expert with experience working at CISA, Meta, and Deloitte.
