Combat Emerging Threats to Critical Infrastructure Act of 2026

The Combat Emerging Threats to Critical Infrastructure Act of 2026 requires the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director to update security plans for 16 critical infrastructure sectors within one year of the law's enactment. These updated plans must specifically address risks posed by emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and digitally manipulated media, as well as cloud-based architecture and robotics. The legislation also mandates that these plans be reassessed and revised at least once every two years. Finally, the Director must share the completed and updated plans with various congressional committees relevant to each specific sector.
