WASHINGTON, N.Y. - Today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the Cyber Safety Review Board’s (CSRB) first report, which included 19 actionable recommendations for government and industry. Congressman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY-02), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Homeland Security's Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Innovation Subcommittee, issued the following statement in response to the report:
"The Log4j event was and continues to be one of the most serious vulnerabilities the United States and our allies across the globe have ever seen. Cybersecurity professionals throughout the private sector and across all levels of government must continue to work together and stay vigilant in light of this ongoing vulnerability.
“I’m pleased to see the practical solutions offered by CISA’s Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB) in their report released today. The CSRB’s public and private sector collaboration has been instrumental to mitigating and disrupting future exploitation, but the coordination must not stop there. I look forward to CISA’s promulgation of the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 to help industry prioritize mitigating vulnerabilities like Log4j across our nation’s most critical infrastructure."
The recommendations from the CSRB address the continued risk posed by vulnerabilities discovered in late 2021 in the widely used Log4j open-source software library. The CSRB is composed of cybersecurity leaders from the federal government and the private sector.
