"New Guidance Pushes Federal Agencies Toward Automated Incident Reporting"

The White House is changing how federal agencies report security incidents to make the incident reporting process easier and more efficient. New guidance issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will require the US Homeland Security Department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to develop a strategy to increase the use of automated reporting mechanisms that use machine-readable data. Almost half of the security incidents faced by federal civilian agencies are reported manually through the US-CERT website, requiring significant work on the analysts' end. Automated reporting systems will allow for faster response and notification to other agencies potentially impacted by the same cyber incident. This article continues to discuss the new guidance aimed at moving federal agencies towards automated incident reporting.
