AI Summary

This bill establishes the Cyber Incident Review Office in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of the Department of Homeland Security. The office will receive, aggregate, and analyze reports from "covered entities" (critical infrastructure owners and operators) related to "covered cybersecurity incidents" (significant cyberattacks) to enhance CISA's situational awareness of cybersecurity threats across critical infrastructure sectors. The bill outlines the office's activities, reporting requirements for covered entities, protections for reported information, and enforcement mechanisms. It also allows for voluntary reporting of cyber incidents by non-covered entities. The goal is to improve the government's ability to identify and mitigate cybersecurity threats to critical infrastructure.
