Within 360 days of the date of this order, the Director of NIST shall publish additional guidelines that include procedures for periodic review and updating of the guidelines described in subsection of this section. Within 90 days of receipt of the recommendations described in subsection of this section, the FAR Council shall review the recommendations and publish for public comment proposed updates to the FAR. For additional questions about this vulnerability, medical device manufacturers should reach out to PTC.

Those requirements shall support a capability of the Secretary of Homeland Secretary, acting through the Director of CISA, to engage in cyber hunt, detection, and response activities. Agencies with cybersecurity vulnerability or incident response procedures that deviate from the playbook may use such procedures only after consulting with the Director of OMB and the APNSA and demonstrating that these procedures meet or exceed the standards proposed in the playbook. Within 1 year of the date of this order, the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the heads of other agencies as the Secretary of Commerce deems appropriate, shall provide to the President, through the APNSA, a report that reviews the progress made under this section and outlines additional steps needed to secure the software supply chain. Following any updates to the FAR made by the FAR Council after the public comment period described in subsection of this section, agencies shall update their agency-specific cybersecurity requirements to remove any requirements that are duplicative of such FAR updates. Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Defense acting through the Director of the NSA, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence shall jointly develop procedures for ensuring that cyber incident reports are promptly and appropriately shared among agencies. Agencies are already under mandate from a May 2021 executive order to adhere to the framework, though a forthcoming policy order could give additional guidance and force to that requirement.

All but one of the exemptions are limited in scope and require compliance with some sections of the Cybersecurity Regulation. These exemptions have been tailored to address particular circumstances and include requirements that the Department believes are necessary for each category of exempted entities. If a Covered Entity ceases to qualify for a previously claimed exemption, the Covered Entity should, as soon as reasonably possible, notify the Department through the DFS Portal by terminating its previously filed exemption. Submit to the department annually by July 31, the state agency’s strategic and operational cybersecurity plans developed pursuant to rules and guidelines established by the department, through the Florida Digital Service. Submitting after-action reports following a cybersecurity incident or ransomware incident. Such guidelines and processes for submitting after-action reports must be developed and published by December 1, 2022.

Service providers share cyber threat and incident information with agencies, doing so, where possible, in industry-recognized formats for incident response and remediation. Incremental improvements will not give us the security we need; instead, the Federal Government needs to make bold changes and significant investments in order to defend the vital institutions that underpin the American way of life. The Federal Government must bring to bear the full scope of its authorities and resources to protect and secure its computer systems, whether they are cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid. The scope of protection and security must include systems that process data (information technology ) and those that run the vital machinery that ensures our safety (operational technology ).

Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Commerce acting through the Director of NIST shall solicit input from the Federal Government, private sector, academia, and other appropriate actors to identify existing or develop new standards, tools, and best practices for complying with the standards, procedures, or criteria in subsection of this section. The guidelines shall include criteria that can be used to evaluate software security, include criteria to evaluate the security practices of the developers and suppliers themselves, and identify innovative tools or methods to demonstrate conformance with secure practices. CISA concurred with this recommendation and in September 2021 provided information on adjustments it has planned or under way for its performance management system. These include how the performance management system was updated to include newly created divisions and mission support offices as a result of the transformation and how the three "pillars" of the organizational transformation are reflected in the performance management process. In addition, CISA described recent actions regarding the reassessment of its performance management system, specifically regarding a robust approach in educating the supervisory cadre on how to address poor performance and how it incentivizes and rewards top performers. The agency added that its human capital office is currently revising its existing performance management instruction and plans to complete this by March 31, 2022.

NPPD's goal was to advance the Department's national security mission by reducing and eliminating threats to U.S. critical physical and cyber infrastructure.
