The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency has released a draft update to the National Cyber Incident Response Plan that addresses significant changes in policy and cyber operations since the plan was first released in 2016.
The updates propose enhancements to improve coordination and collaboration across federal, state, and private sector entities in responding to cyber incidents.
The revised plan emphasizes integrating non-federal stakeholders and streamlines the plan's content to align with practical operational phases of incident response.
The draft also proposes updated roles, responsibilities, and a structured timeline for regular plan updates to address evolving cyber threats and technological advancements.
