The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is postponing meetings with industry on a forthcoming cyber incident reporting rule due to the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown.<\/p>\n

The shutdown is also \u201clikely\u201d to delay the final Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA) rule, CISA confirmed today.<\/p>\n

The meetings were expected to give representatives from across critical infrastructure sectors, as well as other members of the public, a chance to provide CISA with more feedback on the landmark CIRCIA rules.<\/p>\n

The reporting rules will apply across 16 critical infrastructure sectors, ranging from electric utilities and water systems to hospitals and chemical facilities. Under the regulations, entities will have to report cyber incidents to CISA within 72 hours and ransomware payments within 24 hours.<\/p>\n
