The rules also require owners to complete cybersecurity vulnerability assessments.<\/p>\n<p>DHS also detailed voluntary measures to improve cybersecurity across the transportation sector following a series of attacks over the last two years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These new cybersecurity requirements and recommendations will help keep the traveling public safe and protect our critical infrastructure from evolving threats,&#8221; said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. &#8220;DHS will continue working with our partners across every level of government and in the private sector to increase the resilience of our critical infrastructure nationwide.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These are just the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/dhs-releases-new-cybersecurity-guidelines-for-pipelines-after-colonial-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest cybersecurity directives<\/a> handed down by DHS this year, as the agency seeks to charge&nbsp;government-adjacent industries to improve their cybersecurity measures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Following multiple attacks on critical infrastructure in the US this year &#8212; including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/colonial-pipeline-ransomware-attack-everything-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oil pipelines<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/06\/02\/nyregion\/mta-cyber-attack.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">transportation companies<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cisa-says-blackmatter-ransomware-group-behind-recent-attacks-on-agriculture-companies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agricultural organizations<\/a> &#8212; DHS has regularly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/dhs-releases-new-mandatory-cybersecurity-rules-for-pipelines-after-colonial-ransomware-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provided new guidance and mandatory rules<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top placeholder\"> <\/section>\n<p>Congress is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ceos-senators-discuss-mandating-cyber-attack-disclosures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mulling<\/a> a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/congressional-leaders-experts-debate-viability-of-cybersecurity-safety-review-board-described-in-biden-executive-order\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">variety of bills<\/a> related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/bipartisan-group-of-senators-add-cisa-cyberattackransomware-reporting-amendment-to-defense-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incident reporting<\/a> and other cybersecurity measures.
