Cybersecurity for Food, Agriculture, Water

What is happening? California is considering SB892 (2022 | CA) that requires California’s Office of Emergency Management to “develop, propose and adopt optional reporting requirements” for food and agriculture industry entities and cooperatives and water/wastewater systems.

Why is this important? Emergency Management Services will provide a “strategic, multiyear outreach plan” to help these organizations boost cybersecurity

How will this be important? The bill also prohibits reported cyber attacks from being available from public information.
