The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is hosting its ninth iteration of the Cyber Storm (CS IX) Cyber Exercise. It’s the nation’s largest cyber exercise designed to improve the cybersecurity posture of our nation’s critical infrastructure. Through extensive planning, this exercise strengthened cybersecurity preparedness and response capabilities through exercising policies, processes, and procedures for identifying and responding to a multi-sector significant cyber incident impacting critical infrastructure.   CS IX Cyber Exercise generates lessons learned from previous exercises and real-world incidents and presented participants with a challenging scenario to evaluate their incident response capabilities. CISA is hosting more than 2,000 players from all levels of government, the private sector, and international partners. Participants are using this unique opportunity to work together in their response to a simulated national-level cyber incident, improving coordination mechanisms and relationships.  CISA will publish a blog with additional details and results from this Cyber Storm after the event.
