Cyber Storm (CS), a congressionally mandated National Cyber Exercise, sponsored by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), represents one of the few opportunities for the Federal Government, state and local government, the private sector, and international partners to come together and address cyber response as a whole community.

Now on its ninth iteration, Cyber Storm IX (CS IX) assist critical infrastructure sectors and government participants exercise their internal incident response policies and external coordination and information sharing capabilities. The exercise proposed timeline includes exercise design, development, and planning leading up to the exercise tentatively scheduled in March/April 2024.  More information can be found in the attached document.
