The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program was established by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2006 and is managed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). 

The CFATS program identifies and assists high-risk chemical facilities to ensure security measures are in place to reduce the risk of certain hazardous chemicals being weaponized.
