The meeting included briefings from senior leaders, updates on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and recent cybersecurity legislation, and discussion of goals and processes. In particular, the group discussed achieving greater consistency and convergence in the reporting of cyber incidents and advancing the goals of the President’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity.
