Cybersecurity Logging Enforcement and Accountability Reporting...
To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to produce a report that identifies gaps in resources, guidance, and policies to satisfy all event logging requirements for cybersecurity incidents at the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes.
The Cybersecurity Logging Enforcement and Accountability Reporting Act, known as HB9492, aims to address cybersecurity challenges by requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to compile a comprehensive report. This report will identify any gaps in resources, guidance, and policies necessary to meet all event logging requirements for cybersecurity incidents within the Department of Homeland Security.
This bill would primarily affect the Department of Homeland Security and cybersecurity professionals who work within it. By highlighting resource and policy gaps, the report will help ensure that the department has the tools and information needed to effectively respond to and mitigate cybersecurity threats. This could lead to improved cybersecurity measures across the department and potentially throughout the federal government.
HB9492 was introduced on June 25, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security. On July 7, 2026, it was further referred to the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection. This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, with initial steps taken to review and discuss its contents.
