understanding of cyber threats against 

DoD information systems, programs, 

and warfighting capabilities. This 

information helps DoD to inform and 

mitigate adversary actions that may 

affect DoD information resident on or 

transiting unclassified defense 

contractor networks. The Federal 

Information Security Modernization Act 

of 2014 authorizes DoD to oversee 

agency information security policies 

and practices, for systems that are 

operated by DoD, a contractor of the 

Department, or another entity on behalf 

of DoD that processes any information 

the unauthorized access, use, 

disclosure, disruption, modification, or 

destruction of which would have a 

debilitating impact on DoD’s mission. 

Activities under this information 

collection also support DoD’s critical 

infrastructure protection 

responsibilities, as the sector specific 

agency for the DIB sector (see 

Presidential Policy Directive 21, 

‘‘Critical Infrastructure Security and 

Resilience,’’ available at https://

www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/ 

2013/02/12/presidential-policydirective-critical-infrastructure-securityand-resil. The information collection 

requests data from the reporting 

companies to enable DoD to better 

understand the technical details of or 

related to a cyber-incident, including its 

potential adverse effect on the 

company’s unclassified information 

system and the effect, if any, on DoD 

information residing on or transiting the 

company’s information system; or a 

company’s ability to provide 

operationally critical support to DoD. 

The collection includes a request for a 

company point of contact if DoD has 

questions regarding the shared 

information. 

Defense contractors are encouraged to 

share information including cyber threat 

indicators that they believe may be of 

value in alerting the Government and 

others, as appropriate, to adversary 

activity so that we can develop 

mitigation strategies and proactively 

counter threat actor activity. Cyber 

incidents that are not compromises of 

covered defense information or do not 

adversely affect the contractor’s ability 

to perform operationally critical 

support, may be of interest to the DIB 

and DoD for situational awareness 

purposes. 

The information collection is based 

on the DoD contractor’s internal 

assessment and determination that 

cyber information should be shared 

with DoD. Once the defense contractor 

determines that a report will be valuable 

to the community, they submit a cyberincident report using the Incident 

Collection Format (ICF) that can be 

accessed via the web portal (https://

dibnet.dod.mil). 

DoD established this portal as the 

single reporting site for cyber incident 

information, whether mandatory or 

voluntary. A defense contractor selects 

the ‘‘Report a Cyber Incident’’ button. 

The defense contractor will then be 

prompted for their DoD-approved 

medium assurance certificate to gain 

access to the ICF. The contractor is then 

directed to a Privacy Act Statement web 

page that clearly states all cyber 

incident reports are stored in 

accordance with the DIB CS Activities 

System of Record Notice. Contractors 

are then allowed to access the ICF and 

input data. Once a defense contractor 

completes the ICF, they are given a 

preview of the ICF to ensure that all the 

information they are providing is 

correct. After verifying the information 

is correct, the defense contractor will 

then click the ‘‘submit’’ button. A 

reporting submission ID number is 

provided when the report is submitted. 

DoD uses this number to track the report 

and actions related to the report. 

The report is analyzed by cyber threat 

experts at DC3 and they, in turn, 

develop written products that include 

analysis of the threat, mitigations, and 

indicators of adversary activity. These 

anonymized products are shared with 

authorized DoD personnel, other 

Federal agencies and designated points 

of contact in defense companies 

participating in the DIB CS Program. 

The products developed by DC3 do not 

contain company attribution, 

proprietary or personal information, but 

are vital to improving network security 

within the Government and the DIB.
