On June 15, 2016, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) and Department of Justice issued Final Procedures Related to the Receipt of Cyber Threat Indicators and Defensive Measures by the Federal Government (“Final Procedures”) that provide information on how DHS will implement the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (“CISA”). The Final Procedures were accompanied by Guidance to Assist Non-Federal Entities to Share Cyber Threat Indicators and Defensive Measures with Federal Entities Under the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (“Guidance”). These documents represent finalized versions of interim guidance and procedures which, as we have previously reported, were issued in February.

Final Guidance and Procedures
In the Guidance and Final Procedures, DHS provides detailed information about the process undertaken by DHS when it receives information, including both automated and manual review procedures. For example, the Final Guidance outlines specific procedures relating to the receipt, processing, and dissemination of CTIs submitted through both automated and non-automated means, as well as some of the logistical details and operational procedures for DHS’ processes.
