What this bill does
The Combat Emerging Threats to Critical Infrastructure Act of 2026 would direct the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to work with federal Sector Risk Management Agencies to update sector-specific plans for sixteen critical infrastructure sectors, including energy, financial services, healthcare, water systems, communications, and defense industrial base, within one year of enactment. These updated plans would need to address risks tied to emerging technologies, such as sabotage of artificial intelligence systems, AI-enabled cyberattacks, cloud and robotics vulnerabilities, deepfakes and manipulated media, and information-sharing gaps. For the financial sector specifically, CISA would coordinate with the Treasury Department on assessing digital asset vulnerabilities related to quantum computing. The bill also requires reassessment and revision of these plans at least every two years going forward.
The bill primarily affects federal agencies responsible for critical infrastructure security, including CISA, Sector Risk Management Agencies, and the Treasury Department. Indirectly, it would affect owners and operators of critical infrastructure across sectors such as energy, banking, healthcare, and food and agriculture, since updated federal risk-management plans could shape guidance and coordination efforts affecting those industries. The bill also sets out detailed requirements for CISA to report completed plans to numerous congressional committees with jurisdiction over the relevant sectors.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on June 10, 2026, by Senator Mark Warner and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. It has not yet received committee action, and would need to pass both the Senate and House and be signed by the President before becoming law.
