Statement from Secretary Mayorkas on the Cyber Safety Review Board’s Review of Inaugural Proceedings and the Biden-Harris Administration’s Legislative Proposal to Codify the Board

WASHINGTON – Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas released the following statement on the Cyber Safety Review Board’s Review of Inaugural Proceedings  and DHS’s legislative proposal:

“Since it was formed last year, the Cyber Safety Review Board has delivered on its promise to drive change that improves our nation’s cybersecurity by providing actionable recommendations in the aftermath of significant cybersecurity incidents. The Board’s recommendations in its Review of Inaugural Proceedings provide a roadmap for ensuring that the Board endures as a sustainable, replicable, and professional model for public-private collaboration. Codifying the Board into law will guarantee that the Board remains a permanent fixture in our cybersecurity ecosystem and continues its work to strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure owners and operators, no matter their size, location, or sector. The Biden-Harris Administration supports this legislative proposal to establish the Board permanently and grant it authorities that will benefit our nation’s cybersecurity.”
