On July 26, 2016, the White House issued the United States Cyber Incident Coordination Directive (Presidential Policy Directive PPD-41, including an Annex).  The Directive sets forth the principles governing the Federal Government’s response to cyber incidents, including incidents affecting private entities that are part of U.S. critical infrastructure.  The Directive is designed to improve coordination between government agencies and to clarify inter-departmental involvement in response to a cyber incident.
