SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: DoD's Defense Industrial
Base (DIB) Cybersecurity (CS) Activities Cyber Incident Reporting; OMB
Control Number 0704-0489.
Type of Request: Revision.
Number of Respondents: 111.
Responses per Respondent: 5.
Annual Responses: 555.
Average Burden per Response: 2 hours.
Annual Burden Hours: 1,110.
Needs and Uses: DoD designated the DoD Cyber Crime Center (DC3) as
the single focal point for receiving all cyber incident reporting
affecting the unclassified networks of DoD contractors from industry
and other government agencies. DoD collects cyber incident reports
using the Defense Industrial Base Network (DIBNet) portal (<a href="https://dibnet.dod.mil">https://dibnet.dod.mil</a>). Mandatory reporting requirements are addressed in a
separate information collection under OMB Control Number 0704-0478
entitled ``Safeguarding Covered Defense Information, Cyber Incident
Reporting, and Cloud Computing'' authorizing the collection of
mandatory cyber incident reporting in accordance with 10 United States
Code (U.S.C.) 393: ``Reporting on Penetrations of Networks and
Information Systems of Certain Contractors,'' 10 U.S.C. 391:
``Reporting on Cyber Incidents with Respect to Networks and Information
Systems of Operationally Critical Contractors and Certain Other
Contractors, and 50 U.S.C. 3330: ``Reports to the Intelligence
Community on Penetrations of Networks and Information Systems of
Certain Contractors.
This information collection supports the voluntary sharing of cyber
incident information from DoD contractors in accordance with 32 Code of
Federal Regulations part 236, ``DoD- DIB CS Activities,'' which
authorizes the DIB CS Program. Sharing cyber incident information is
critical to DoD's
[[Page 92668]]
understanding of cyber threats against DoD information systems,
programs, and warfighting capabilities. This information helps DoD to
inform and mitigate adversary actions that may affect DoD information
resident on or transiting unclassified defense contractor networks. The
Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 authorizes DoD
to oversee agency information security policies and practices, for
systems that are operated by DoD, a contractor of the Department, or
another entity on behalf of DoD that processes any information the
unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or
destruction of which would have a debilitating impact on DoD's mission.
Activities under this information collection also support DoD's
critical infrastructure protection responsibilities, as the sector
specific agency for the DIB sector (see Presidential Policy Directive
21, ``Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience,'' available at
<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/02/12/presidential-policy-directive-critical-infrastructure-security-and-resil">https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/02/12/presidential-policy-directive-critical-infrastructure-security-and-resil</a>. The
information collection requests data from the reporting companies to
enable DoD to better understand the technical details of or related to
a cyber-incident, including its potential adverse effect on the
company's unclassified information system and the effect, if any, on
DoD information residing on or transiting the company's information
system; or a company's ability to provide operationally critical
support to DoD. The collection includes a request for a company point
of contact if DoD has questions regarding the shared information.
Defense contractors are encouraged to share information including
cyber threat indicators that they believe may be of value in alerting
the Government and others, as appropriate, to adversary activity so
that we can develop mitigation strategies and proactively counter
threat actor activity. Cyber incidents that are not compromises of
covered defense information or do not adversely affect the contractor's
ability to perform operationally critical support, may be of interest
to the DIB and DoD for situational awareness purposes.
The information collection is based on the DoD contractor's
internal assessment and determination that cyber information should be
shared with DoD. Once the defense contractor determines that a report
will be valuable to the community, they submit a cyber-incident report
using the Incident Collection Format (ICF) that can be accessed via the
web portal (<a href="https://dibnet.dod.mil">https://dibnet.dod.mil</a>).
DoD established this portal as the single reporting site for cyber
incident information, whether mandatory or voluntary. A defense
contractor selects the ``Report a Cyber Incident'' button. The defense
contractor will then be prompted for their DoD-approved medium
assurance certificate to gain access to the ICF. The contractor is then
directed to a Privacy Act Statement web page that clearly states all
cyber incident reports are stored in accordance with the DIB CS
Activities System of Record Notice. Contractors are then allowed to
access the ICF and input data. Once a defense contractor completes the
ICF, they are given a preview of the ICF to ensure that all the
information they are providing is correct. After verifying the
information is correct, the defense contractor will then click the
``submit'' button. A reporting submission ID number is provided when
the report is submitted. DoD uses this number to track the report and
actions related to the report.
The report is analyzed by cyber threat experts at DC3 and they, in
turn, develop written products that include analysis of the threat,
mitigations, and indicators of adversary activity. These anonymized
products are shared with authorized DoD personnel, other Federal
agencies and designated points of contact in defense companies
participating in the DIB CS Program. The products developed by DC3 do
not contain company attribution, proprietary or personal information,
but are vital to improving network security within the Government and
the DIB.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; Not-for-profit
Institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
