Defense Science Board; Notice of Federal Advisory Committee Meeting, 63180-63181 [2024-17029]

Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 63180 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 149 / Friday, August 2, 2024 / Notices The information collection is based on the DoD contractor’s internal assessment and determination that cyber information should be shared with DoD. Once the defense contractor determines that a report will be valuable to the community, they submit a cyberincident report using the Incident Collection Format (ICF) that can be accessed via the web portal (https:// dibnet.dod.mil). DoD established this portal as the single reporting site for cyber incident information, whether mandatory or voluntary. A defense contractor selects the ‘‘Report a Cyber Incident’’ button. The defense contractor will then be prompted for their DoD-approved medium assurance certificate to gain access to the ICF. The contractor is then directed to a Privacy Act Statement web page that clearly states all cyber incident reports are stored in accordance with the DIB CS Activities System of Record Notice. Contractors are then allowed to access the ICF and input data. Once a defense contractor completes the ICF, they are given a preview of the ICF to ensure that all the information they are providing is correct. After verifying the information is correct, the defense contractor will then click the ‘‘submit’’ button. A reporting submission ID number is provided when the report is submitted. DoD uses this number to track the report and actions related to the report. The report is analyzed by cyber threat experts at DC3 and they, in turn, develop written products that include analysis of the threat, mitigations, and indicators of adversary activity. These anonymized products are shared with authorized DoD personnel, other Federal agencies and designated points of contact in defense companies participating in the DIB CS Program. The products developed by DC3 do not contain company attribution, proprietary or personal information, but are vital to improving network security within the Government and the DIB.
