SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee was established under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Pub.L. 116-283). Notice of this meeting is given under FACA, 5 U.S.C. Appendix (Pub. L. 92-463). The CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee advises the CISA Director on matters related to the development, refinement, and implementation of policies, programs, planning, and training pertaining to the cybersecurity mission of the Agency.

Agenda: The CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee will meet in an open session on Wednesday, June 22, 2022 from 12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. CT to discuss CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee activities. The open session will include: (1) A period for public comment, and (2) updates from the six subcommittees, to including deliberation and voting on recommendations from the CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee to CISA.

The committee will also meet in a closed session from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. CT to participate in an operational discussion that will address areas of critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities and priorities for CISA. Government officials will share sensitive information with CSAC members on initiatives and future security requirements for assessing cyber risks to critical infrastructure.

Basis for Closure: In accordance with section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B), The Government in the Sunshine Act, it has been determined that one agenda item requires closure, as the disclosure of the information that will be discussed would not be in the public interest.

This agenda item addresses areas of CISA's operations that include critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities and priorities for CISA. Government officials will share sensitive information with CSAC members on initiatives and future security requirements for assessing cyber risks to critical infrastructure. The premature disclosure of this information to the public would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency actions.

Due to the sensitive nature of this discussion, this portion of the meeting is required to be closed pursuant to section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).
