The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has created a new online portal for organizations to voluntarily report cybersecurity incidents, including ransomware attacks.

CISA launched the website as the agency prepares a final rule that will require organizations considered to be critical infrastructure to report cyber incidents and ransomware attacks to the agency. CISA issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking April 4 and is expected to release the final rule in 2025.

The move is an attempt to bring coordination to the government’s disparate cybersecurity efforts, and to better defend the nation against cyberattacks, CISA said. Currently, more than 36 government agencies and offices currently receive or collect cyber incident reports.
