Cyber Safety Review Board

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]
