SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee was established under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, Public Law 116-283. Notice of this meeting is given under FACA, 5 U.S.C. appendix (Pub. L. 92-463). The CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee advises the CISA Director on matters related to the development, refinement, and implementation of policies, programs, planning, and training pertaining to the cybersecurity mission of the Agency.

Agenda: The CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee will hold a conference call on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, to discuss current CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee activities. The open session will include: (1) a period for public comment, and (2) updates regarding the CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee's seven subcommittees, to include deliberation and voting on recommendations from the CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee to CISA. The seven subcommittees include: (1) Building Resilience and Reducing Systemic Risk to Critical Infrastructure Subcommittee; Transforming the Cyber Workforce Subcommittee; (2) National Cybersecurity Alert System Subcommittee; (3) Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Misinformation and Disinformation Subcommittee; (4) Turning the Corner on Cyber Hygiene Subcommittee; (5) Transforming the Cyber Workforce Subcommittee; (6) Technical Advisory Council Subcommittee; and (7) Strategic Communications Subcommittee.

The committee will also meet in a closed session from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. ET to participate in an operational discussion that will address areas of critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities and priorities for CISA. Government officials will share sensitive information with CSAC members on initiatives and future security requirements for assessing cyber risks to critical infrastructure.

Basis for Closure: In accordance with section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B), The Government in the Sunshine Act, it has been determined that one agenda item requires closure, as the premature disclosure of the information that will be discussed would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency actions.

This agenda item addresses areas of CISA's operations that include critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities and priorities for CISA. Government officials will share sensitive information with CSAC members on initiatives and future security requirements for assessing cyber risks to critical infrastructure.

As the premature disclosure of the information that will be discussed would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency action, this portion of the meeting is required to be closed pursuant to section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).

Megan M. Tsuyi,

Designated Federal Officer, CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security.
