DESCRIPTION:Chemicals are vital to the economy. They are used to develop me
 dicines\, provide refrigeration for food\, manufacture fuel for vehicles\,
  and build the microchips that run smartphones. However\, in the hands of 
 a terrorist\, some chemicals could potentially be weaponized.\n\nManaged b
 y the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)\,[the Chemic
 al Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards\, or CFATS\, program is a regulation 
 focused on identifying and reducing the risk of certain hazardous chemical
 s being weaponized at chemical facilities determined to be high-risk by th
 e Agency](https://r1.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/fs-cfats-overview
 _508.pdf). CFATS ensures that these facilities have security measures in p
 lace that meet five risk-based performance standard guideposts: delay\; de
 tection\; response\; cybersecurity\; and security management (covering sec
 urity plans\, policies\, and procedures). CFATS is executed by Chemical Se
 curity Inspectors (CSIs) located across the country and is supported by co
 mpliance analysts\, policy experts\, and other headquarters elements. Sinc
 e its inception in 2006\, CFATS has become a cornerstone of chemical secur
 ity—not just domestically\, but also as a model to address chemical secu
 rity internationally.\n\nThis virtual talk will provide an overview of the
  CFATS program\, outline the next steps to determine whether CFATS applies
  to you\, and explain how to apply for technical assistance or on-site con
 sultation.\n\nFor more information\, contact the CFATS Help Desk: 1-866-32
