Where Do You Report Cyber Incidents?

August 2, 2016

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released guidelines and points of contact for reporting cyber incidents to the federal government. This communication follows the recent release of Presidential Policy Directive 41 (PPD-41)—United States Cyber Incident Coordination—which outlines how the federal government will handle cyber incidents.

Yes, I know it isn't sexy, but this is information you need to review – and it should be a part of your Incident Response Plan. The two page sheet makes it clear which kind of incidents are to be reported to the specific agencies listed.

Thanks as always to Dave Ries for passing this on to me.
