In the draft guidance, we provided an overview of product security practices that are deemed exceptionally risky, particularly for organizations supporting critical infrastructure or national critical functions (NCFs), and it provides recommendations for software manufacturers to voluntarily mitigate these risks. The guidance contained in the document is non-binding, and while CISA encourages organizations to avoid these bad practices, the document imposes no requirement on them to do so. The draft guidance is scoped to software manufacturers who develop software products and services, including on-premises software, cloud services, and software as a service (SaaS), used in support of critical infrastructure or NCFs. The request for comment provided for a 45-day comment period, set to close on December 2, 2024. CISA received requests to extend the deadline given the Thanksgiving holiday. Therefore, the comment period is now open through December 16, 2024. This notice is issued under the authority of 6 U.S.C. 652 and 659. Jeffrey E. Greene, Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security. [FR Doc. 2024-25078 Filed 10-28-24; 8:45 am]
