- have agreed on a plan to promote a higher standard of cybersecurity across the sector, including capabilities that enable visibility and threat detection for

The Chemical Action Plan will serve as a roadmap to guide the sector's assessment of their current cybersecurity practices over the next 100 days, building on the

The Chemical Action Plan will Focus on high-risk chemical facilities that present significant chemical release hazards with the ultimate goal of supporting enhanced
ICS cybersecurity across the entire chemical sector.
The Chemical Action Plan will Drive information sharing and analytical coordination between the Federal Government and the chemical sector.
