Say Hello to CIRCIA: The New Big Brother in Cybersecurity Regulation
CIRCIA, the new hall monitor of cybersecurity, insists on tattling your cyber incidents within 72 hours – or 24 if ransom’s involved. But hold up, CIRCIA Compliance Regulations aren’t live yet. We’re all on tenterhooks, waiting to see who makes the ‘Covered Entities’ club cut. Until then, keep calm and carry on cybering!
Hot Take:
It seems like we’re getting a new team player in the cybersecurity regulation league. Say hello to CIRCIA, the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022. It's essentially the bossy big sibling who's going to make sure you report your cyber incidents within 72 hours, or even 24 hours if a ransom payment has been made. But don't worry, the rules aren't in effect yet. CISA still needs to define who exactly is going to be put under this new, stricter supervision. So, let's hold our breaths and see who's going to be invited to this exclusive 'Covered Entities' club.Already a member? Log in here
