Notification may be delayed under specified circumstances. Each agency must provide any information relating to a major incident to CISA, the OMB, the Office of the National Cyber Director, the agency's office of inspector general, the Government Accountability Office, and Congress. An agency's contractors and grant recipients must notify the agency of an incident involving federal information within a specified time frame. Each agency shall develop training for individuals at the agency with access to federal information or information systems on how to identify and respond to an incident. CISA must establish a program to provide ongoing, hypothesis-driven threat-hunting services on the network of each agency. The bill establishes specified pilot programs to enhance federal cybersecurity.
