Summary
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is preparing to manage an expected surge in cyber incident reports necessitated by the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 (CIRCIA). A Government Accountability Office (GAO) audit confirmed that while CISA has met 13 of the 59 required reporting mandates, it still faces challenges handling the influx of reports due to limited technology and staff. CISA plans to develop new technical solutions, including an incident reporting portal and ticketing system, but budget constraints impede these efforts. The agency is also working to streamline reporting requirements and ensure efficient information sharing among federal partners to mitigate cybersecurity risks effectively.
