Topic: Department Of Homeland Security

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is finalizing plans for ANCHOR (Alliance of National Councils for Homeland Operational Resilience), a new body to replace the Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council (CIPAC). ANCHOR aims to serve as a communication hub between industry and government for discussing threats to US critical infrastructure, including cyberattacks. A key focus is re-establishing liability protections for industry executives to encourage open dialogue without fear of government reprisals, a feature that was central to CIPAC.
