CISA Releases Guidance on Identifying Critical Infrastructure during COVID-19

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released guidance to help state and local jurisdictions and the private sector identify and manage their essential workforce while responding to COVID-19. “If you work in a critical infrastructure industry, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security, such as healthcare services and pharmaceutical and food supply, you have a special responsibility to maintain your normal work schedule,” the guidance states. The list can inform critical infrastructure community decision-making to determine the sectors, sub sectors, segments, or critical functions that should continue normal operations.
