CISA is responsible for performing, coordinating, and supporting response to information security incidents, which may originate outside the Federal community and affect users within it, or originate within the Federal community and affect users outside of it. Often, therefore, the effective handling of security incidents relies on information sharing among individual users, industry, and the Federal Government, which may be facilitated by and through CISA.
Per the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, CISA operates the Federal in-formation security incident center for the United States federal government. Each federal agency is required to notify and consult with CISA regarding information security incidents involving federal information systems. Additional entities report incident information to CISA voluntarily.
CISAâs website is a primary tool used by constituents to report incident in-formation, access information sharing products and services, and interact with CISA. Constituents, which may include anyone or any entity in the public, use forms located on the website to complete these activities.
