CISA Requests Public Comment for Draft National Cyber Incident Response Plan Update – CISA

Today, CISA—through the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative and in coordination with the Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD)—released the National Cyber Incident Response Plan Update Public Comment Draft. The draft requests public comment on the National Cyber Incident Response Plan (NCIRP)—public comment period begins today and concludes on January 15, 2025. 

Since initial publication in 2016, CISA conducted broad and extensive engagement and information exchanges with public and private sector partners, interagency partners, federal Sector Risk Management Agencies (SRMAs), and regulators to build upon the successes of the inaugural NCIRP. The draft NCIRP update describes a national approach to coordinating significant cyber incident detection and response. 

The draft update considers the evolution in the cyber threat landscape and lessons learned from historical incidents. The text also addresses the vital role that the private sector, state and local governments (including tribal and territorial), and federal agencies hold in responding to cyber incidents.

CISA is seeking more perspectives to help strengthen the NCIRP and invites stakeholders from across the public and private sectors to share their knowledge and experiences, further informing our findings and contributing to this revision. Public comments may be posted via the Federal Register.
