The department says this board is “an unprecedented public-private initiative.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is bridging the gap between private companies and government agencies via the newly formed Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB). “The CSRB will review and assess significant cybersecurity events so that government, industry, and the broader security community can better protect our nation’s networks and infrastructure,” DHS says, starting with a report on the vulnerabilities discovered in the Log4j library in 2021. Log4j is a nigh-ubiquitous Java library, which means the vulnerabilities disclosed in late 2021 could be exploited to enable remote code execution on countless servers. Microsoft said in December that state-sponsored hackers and criminals alike were starting to exploit these flaws.
