A Cyber Incident Coordination Plan is a plan that goes beyond the technical response to a cyber incident and outlines all roles and responsibilities within an entire organization during and after a cyber event. The plan includes strategic, legal, regulatory, and policy considerations, as well as coordination and communication procedures.

Interoperable communications refers to the ability of emergency responders and government personnel to communicate and share voice and data information seamlessly.

Artificial intelligence (AI) governance refers to the frameworks, policies, processes, and oversight mechanisms put in place to ensure that AI technologies are developed and used responsibly, ethically, and in alignment with societal values and laws.
