Cyber Safety Review Board

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cyber Safety Review Board (also called the Cybersecurity Safety Review Board) was established by the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.[1][2][3] Modeled after the National Transportation Safety Board, it will meet in cases of significant cybersecurity incidents.[4][5] The board's creation was announced upon President Joe Biden's signing of Executive Order 14028 on May 12, 2021.[6][7]

The Board serves a deliberate function to review major cyber events and make concrete recommendations that would drive improvements within the private and public sectors. The Board’s construction is a unique and valuable collaboration of government and private sector members, and provides a direct path to the Secretary of Homeland Security and the President to ensure the recommendations are addressed and implemented, as appropriate. As a uniquely constituted advisory body, the Board will focus on learning lessons and sharing them with those that need them to enable advances in national cybersecurity.[3]

The CSRB is composed of 15 highly esteemed cybersecurity leaders from the federal government and the private sector that make up the inaugural board membership:[3]


The first report of the board was published 11 July 2022 and described Log4j and Log4shell.[8]
