DHS to unveil replacement council for critical infrastructure cybersecurity
The Department of Homeland Security is establishing ANCHOR-CI (Alliance of National Councils for Homeland Operational Resilience - Critical Infrastructure), a new advisory council to replace the Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council that was dissolved in 2024. ANCHOR-CI will facilitate information sharing and coordination between federal agencies, state and local governments, and private sector critical infrastructure operators on cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. The council will be managed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and will operate with exemptions from federal transparency requirements due to the sensitive nature of critical infrastructure security discussions.
Why it matters: Critical infrastructure owners and operators should engage with ANCHOR-CI to restore access to federal threat intelligence and cybersecurity coordination that was disrupted when CIPAC was eliminated, and to participate in sector-specific and cross-sector vulnerability discussion forums.

government policy
DHS to unveil replacement council for critical infrastructure cybersecurity
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will launch the Alliance of National Councils for Homeland Operational Resilience-Critical Infrastructure (ANCHOR-CI) on July 1, 2026, to replace the defunct Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council (CIPAC). Managed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), ANCHOR-CI will facilitate coordination between government and private sector critical infrastructure owners on cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and resilience, with meetings exempt from public transparency laws. The initiative aims to restore information-sharing channels disrupted by CIPAC's disbandment in 2025.
Why it matters: Critical infrastructure owners and operators should prepare for renewed federal coordination and threat intelligence sharing under ANCHOR-CI, which may impact their access to classified or sensitive cybersecurity guidance.
