Combat Emerging Threats to Critical Infrastructure Act of 2026

This bill would require the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to update, within one year, the security plans for 16 critical infrastructure sectors, such as energy, water, health care, financial services, and transportation. The updated plans must address risks from new technologies like artificial intelligence, including attacks on AI systems, AI-assisted hacking, and digitally faked images, audio, video, or text. For the financial sector, the Director would work with the Treasury Secretary to develop a process to find weaknesses in digital assets caused by quantum computing. The Director would send copies of the plans to specified congressional committees and would reassess and reissue the plans at least every 2 years.
