INTRODUCTION TO THE CHEMICAL SECTOR RISK MANAGEMENT AGENCY

Chemical Sector facilities manufacture, store, use, and transport potentially dangerous chemicals. Securing said chemicals against growing and evolving threats requires vigilance from both the private and public sectors. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) serves as Sector Risk Management Agency (SRMA) for the Chemical Sector. The SRMA works with companies to develop tools and resources for assessing facility security and resilience. CISA also collaborates with public and private sector partners to ensure that chemical facility owners and operators receive important information about human-made and natural threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the Nation’s critical chemical facilities. Whether the company is an upstream or downstream provider engaging in the use, manufacturing, storage, transport, or delivery of basic, specialty, agricultural, or consumer product chemicals, the Chemical Sector SRMA is a central point of contact for innovative physical and cyber programs, products, and services that ensure the security and resilience of the chemical industry.
