Overview

June 16

Watch Now

Signed into law in March 2022, the Strengthening American Cybersecurity Act (SACA) legally requires operators of critical infrastructure such as water systems or electrical grids, to alert Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) within 72 hours of any data breach. Organizations that make a ransomware payment have 24 hours to report those details.

As local and state agencies of all sizes continue to be targeted by determined cyber criminals, this law is designed to give the National Cyber Director, CISA, and other appropriate agencies visibility into attacks against critical infrastructure to enable response, mitigation, and timely warnings of attacks to the public. For the first time, SACA will give federal authorities an overview of all cyberattacks against critical infrastructure in the United States.

Join Government Technology and Arctic Wolf for a live webinar on June 16 at 11 am PT/2 pm ET as experts discuss the implications SACA will have across the country.

Our panel will outline how the new law impacts state and local agencies, including utility providers, and what you need to know to comply.
