DHS and European Commission’s Directorate General for Communications, Networks, Content, and Technology (DG CONNECT) announced an initiative to compare cyber incident reporting elements that will inform cyber incident reporting requirements by the US and EU.
To inform the ongoing implementation of CIRCIA and the NIS 2 Directive by the respective authorities and to support entities active in multiple jurisdictions in their efforts to respond to cyber incidents, DHS and DG CONNECT are publishing the present joint report that identifies the main similarities and divergences in the DHS Report’s recommendations and the NIS 2 Directive.
DHS outlined a series of actionable recommendations on how the federal government can streamline and harmonize the reporting of cyber incidents to better protect the nation’s critical infrastructure. These recommendations provide a clear path forward for reducing burden on critical infrastructure partners and enabling the federal government to better identify trends in malicious cyber incidents, as well as helping organizations to prevent, respond to, and recover from attacks.
President Biden has made cybersecurity a top priority for the Biden-Harris Administration at all levels of government.

Protecting against cyber threats at home also requires collaborating with partners abroad and DHS agencies and offices also play a critical role in enhancing cybersecurity efforts worldwide.
