The Multi-State Fleet Response Working Group produced a new report based on outcomes from a multi-state and multi-sector "integrated planning" workshop focused on expediting information sharing between private and public sectors during disasters. This Workshop was designed to support the development of a regional “information sharing” based exercise drill (CATEX 2014) involving the multiple states and cities and the electric, food and fuel/petroleum sectors for the purpose of accelerating public and private sector response and recovery activities along the East Coast.

DHS NPPD Cyber Incident Data and Analysis Working Group (CIDAWG) Report
Since 2012, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) has been engaging a diverse group of private and public sector cybersecurity stakeholders – including insurers, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Security Officers (CSOs), risk managers, critical infrastructure owners, and social scientists – to examine the current state of the cybersecurity insurance market and how to best advance its capacity to incentivize better cyber risk management. This White Paper on Overcoming Perceived Obstacles to Sharing into a Cyber Incident Data Repository is the third in the CIDAWG’s white paper series. It identifies eight such obstacles, possible approaches for addressing them, and the stakeholders who should be engaged to begin the work of doing so.
