The new rules, enforced by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), introduce a four-tier classification system and require detailed initial and postmortem reports. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties for both organizations and responsible individuals.

CISA is expected to finalize its long-delayed **Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act** (`CIRCIA`) rule by September, establishing a mandatory federal reporting regime for critical infrastructure operators. Under the rule, covered entities would have to report substantial cyber incidents to CISA within **72 hours** and disclose **ransomware payments within 24 hours**, marking a major shift from the agency’s largely voluntary incident-sharing model. The reporting mandate was authorized in 2022 but missed its statutory October 2025 deadline amid rulemaking delays and Department of Homeland Security scheduling disruptions. CISA has continued procedural work and stakeholder outreach, including notices and town halls, as officials refine the final directive shaped by lessons from the **SolarWinds** compromise, the **Colonial Pipeline** attack, and broader concerns that geopolitical crises could trigger cyberattacks against U.S. infrastructure.

US cyber leadership signaled near-term movement on **national cybersecurity strategy** and **critical-infrastructure cyber regulation**, emphasizing closer industry-government coordination. National Cyber Director **Sean Cairncross** said the forthcoming national cyber strategy aims to streamline overlapping regulations away from checklist compliance, while strengthening information-sharing mechanisms, federal modernization, critical infrastructure protection, workforce development, emerging technologies, and deterrence of foreign cyberattacks; he also highlighted work on an **AI security framework** and urged support for reauthorizing the **2015 Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act**. CISA indicated an update is imminent on implementing the **2022 Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA)** after delays and industry backlash to an earlier approach. CISA executive assistant director **Nick Andersen** said news is expected “in the next couple of weeks” on how the rulemaking will proceed; the final rule deadline has slipped to **May 2026**. CIRCIA would require critical infrastructure entities to report **major cyber incidents within 72 hours** and **ransomware payments within 24 hours** to CISA, reflecting federal efforts to standardize incident reporting and improve national visibility into significant attacks.

EU manufacturers of products with digital elements must begin meeting **Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Article 14** reporting obligations on 11 September 2026, before the regulation becomes broadly applicable in December 2027. They must report reliably evidenced active exploitation of vulnerabilities affecting their products, as well as severe security incidents involving those products. The process requires an early notification within 24 hours, a more detailed notification within 72 hours, and a final report within one month of the initial notice. Requirements extend to legacy products already on the EU market and to exploited vulnerabilities in third-party software or hardware components that affect a manufacturer’s product; organizations need current product and component inventories, defined escalation paths, and coordinated vulnerability-management, incident-response, and regulatory-reporting procedures.
