CISA Says DHS Shutdown Will Likely Further Delay CIRCIA Rule

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said Monday that an ongoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown will probably delay the final Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA) rule.  

Town hall meetings scheduled for weeks in March and April to discuss the final CIRCIA rule have been postponed, CISA said in a statement. The agency said it will publish a revised town hall schedule once the department reopens.
