Background for this topic.
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security agency for reducing cyber and physical risks to critical infrastructure and federal civilian networks. Created by the 2018 CISA Act, it works with government and industry, publishes alerts and guidance, and coordinates assistance during significant incidents. Its direct federal-network role chiefly covers the Federal Civilian Executive Branch, including .gov; private-sector engagement is often voluntary or sector-specific.
Practitioners use CISA advisories and the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog to prioritize patching where exploitation has been observed, and consult applicable directives and incident-response guidance. CISA supports vulnerability reporting and promotes controls such as multifactor authentication, logging, and tested recovery. A CISA alert is an actionable risk signal, not proof every organization is affected; teams should verify product, version, exposure, and obligations.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Friday added a recently disclosed security flaw impacting various Linux distributions to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation in the wild
Zero Trust Is 'Essential' - But Who Pays for It?New guidance from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on adapting zero trust security principles for operational technology is fine as far as it goes, but is pretty high-level and ignores or fudges a couple of key questions, say executives and experts.
The guidance warns that agents capable of taking real-world actions on networks are already inside critical infrastructure, and most organizations are granting them far more access than they can safely monitor or control.
