The General Services Administration (GSA) has introduced a pilot to test application programming interfaces designed to facilitate automated comment uploads and data downloads from the beta Regulations website.

Regulatons.gov is a federal shared service managed by GSA that allows the public to post comments on rulemakings and gain access to regulatory files and supporting documents, GSA said Wednesday.

Individuals and organizations that do not plan to use the Comment API can manually upload multiple comments in legacy and beta versions of Regulations.gov website. This is part of GSA’s effort to provide the public with multiple options to post comments on federal rulemakings.

GSA also encourages the public to share their insights on the beta Regulations website using the “feedback” function.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued documents that discuss concepts and public safety use cases on identity, credential and access management technologies.

CISA said Thursday its ICAM Value Proposition Suite features an overview of ICAM benefits and use cases in hurricane, drug, school shooting and bombing response scenarios.

The agency worked with the National Council of Statewide Interoperability, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Georgia Tech Research Institute and SAFECOM to provide this set of documents.

CISA asks the public safety community to assess federated ICAM's applicability to first responder communications and value as a supplement to current information workflows.

NASA has recharged a small spacecraft designed to explore the red planet along with the Perseverance rover.

The agency said Thursday it examined the Ingenuity Mars helicopter's six lithium-ion batteries and used Perseverance's power supply to charge the rotorcraft up to 35 percent. NASA has discovered that a low-charge level would enable Ingenuity's battery system to operate at an optimal state.

"This charge activity shows we have survived launch and that so far we can handle the harsh environment of interplanetary space," said MiMi Aung, Ingenuity project manager at NASA.

The four-pound rotorcraft will perform a 31-day flight test in an effort to validate the possibility of controlled fights within the red planet.

The National Security Agency (NSA) partnered with the FBI to publish a new advisory document that tackles cybersecurity against Russian malware. The advisory aims to warn concerned organizations about Drovorub, a Russian malware used on Linux computer systems for cyber espionage.

Drovorub deploys an implant that facilitates direct communications and other commands for malware attacks. The malware is able to conceal artifacts from cyber response tools.

NSA and FBI advise concerned administrators to have Linux systems updated to at least Kernel 3.7 and set systems up to only accept modules containing valid digital signatures.

"By deconstructing this capability and providing attribution, analysis and mitigations, we hope to empower our customers, partners and allies to take action," said Anne Neuberger, cybersecurity director at NSA.
