CISA Cyber Exercise Act

The CISA Cyber Exercise Act, also known as Bill 117 hr 3223, is a piece of legislation introduced in the United States Congress. The purpose of this bill is to enhance the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure by requiring the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to develop and conduct cybersecurity exercises.

Under this bill, CISA would be responsible for coordinating and conducting exercises to simulate cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, such as energy, transportation, and communication systems. These exercises would help to identify vulnerabilities and improve the response capabilities of both government and private sector entities.

Additionally, the CISA Cyber Exercise Act would require CISA to report to Congress on the results of these exercises and provide recommendations for improving cybersecurity practices. This information would be crucial for policymakers and industry leaders to better understand the threats facing critical infrastructure and take proactive measures to protect against cyber attacks. Overall, the CISA Cyber Exercise Act aims to strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure through coordinated exercises and information sharing. By enhancing preparedness and response capabilities, this bill seeks to mitigate the risks posed by cyber threats and safeguard the nation's vital systems and services.
