Changes coming to cyber-incident reporting


CHANGES COMING TO CYBER-INCIDENT REPORTING – The system for reporting cybersecurity incidents on federal networks will soon be getting an update from US-CERT, with new White House guidance enabling the changes expected before Oct.1. The plan is to replace outdated categories of incidents with reporting based on common methods of attack as well as the severity of their impact on agency functionality; on agency-held information; and on agency recovery efforts.

The changes would come after months of US-CERT following up on a 2012 NIST special publication, rewriting proposals based on comments. Work is expected to conclude on configuration of the new system this month, with OMB to sign off before the start of the next fiscal year. David Perera with the scoop: http://politico.pro/1vyVYxr
