The Department of Homeland Security has proposed a new public-private critical infrastructure collaboration system to replace a framework that President Donald Trump eliminated weeks after returning to office.
The Alliance of National Councils for Homeland Operational Resilience – Critical Infrastructure (ANCHOR-CI) will serve as an umbrella system for a group of advisory councils composed of critical infrastructure operators, government officials and “organizations with direct responsibility for cybersecurity and critical infrastructure security and resilience activities,” according to a notice published in the federal register July 1.
DHS said ANCHOR-CI would “provide forums through which cybersecurity, law enforcement, intelligence, national security, and other government representatives at the federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial levels may engage representatives of private sector entities and critical infrastructure owners and operators in reviewing the current threat environment, discussing potential vulnerabilities, and forming recommendations on securing a more resilient critical infrastructure and cyberspace.”
