Action"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since its formation in November 2018, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has been focused on securing our nation\u2019s physical and cyber infrastructure. Recently, CISA Director Christopher Krebs released his <a href=\"https:\/\/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dhs.gov%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fpublications%2Fcisa_strategic_intent_s508c.pdf&amp;data=02%7C01%7Ctware%40mco.com%7C3ba76ac2be03497f6c2f08d73d49eda2%7C1d5c96e57ee2446dbed8d0f8c50edea5%7C1%7C1%7C637045260059051735&amp;sdata=nSoslw9%2FKunTOHiVnvV63d9DGtZRlR7nQ9NZIQrv35Q%3D&amp;reserved=0\">strategic intent<\/a> for the agency. This is a direct response to society\u2019s increasing reliance on networked technologies and the evolving global cyberthreat. CISA\u2019s guidance is timely. By 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fus.norton.com%2Finternetsecurity-emerging-threats-10-facts-about-todays-cybersecurity-landscape-that-you-should-know.html&amp;data=02%7C01%7Ctware%40mco.com%7C3ba76ac2be03497f6c2f08d73d49eda2%7C1d5c96e57ee2446dbed8d0f8c50edea5%7C1%7C1%7C637045260059051735&amp;sdata=MwjPSGK19up%2Fe4xKwfUAJ2mY4oOGrdQ7Qtr6XkBJMgM%3D&amp;reserved=0\">50 percent<\/a> of world\u2019s data breaches will take place in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To force change in the government\u2019s cybersecurity practices, federal agencies need a definitive framework to better protect our nation\u2019s most sensitive networks. Krebs outlined five core principles to guide our national public and private sector approach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Leadership and collaboration;<\/li><li>Risk prioritization;<\/li><li>Results oriented;<\/li><li>Respect for national values; and<\/li><li>Unified mission and agency.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is easy to agree on the principles, but creating real change requires collaboration <i>now <\/i>to deter emerging cyberthreats \u2015 specifically vulnerabilities in election systems, supply chain and critical infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Tackling the emerging threats<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Krebs underscores that election interference conducted by malicious nation-state actors are one of the highest threats we face. Earlier this year, the Senate Intelligence Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fcontext%2Fread-the-senate-intelligence-committee-s-report-russian-efforts-against-election-infrastructure-volume-one%2Fff61b4d1-930b-486b-a728-586ce8ad0c45%2F&#038;data=02%7C01%7Ctware%40mco.com%7C3ba76ac2be03497f6c2f08d73d49eda2%7C1d5c96e57ee2446dbed8d0f8c50edea5%7C1%7C1%7C637045260059061730&#038;sdata=tLVsIXbKid8QSe2KSdRI%2FVmap1txOLPCeyY%2FQMy%2BR%2Bw%3D&#038;reserved=0\">found that<\/a> election systems in all 50 states were likely targeted during the 2016 election. With the 2020 election fast approaching, we must address these threats and protect these important system both now and through continuous improvement for all future elections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To accomplish this, government agencies, academia and private corporations must work together. Evaluating the current tools and systems, identifying vulnerabilities, and auditing the current threat environment to develop the necessary technologies proactively can deter future threats. This process includes patching, segmentation, system monitoring, developing wireless configurations and cyber hardening to remove unnecessary applications. To create lasting change, individual states should also participate in the CISA-created training exercises to help them develop incident planning, preparedness, identification, response and recovery protocols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking past 2020, Department of Defense supply chain vulnerabilities are another looming weakness that could jeopardize our military readiness. This vulnerability is growing rapidly. U.S. supply chain attacks increased by <a href=\"https:\/\/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nextgov.com%2Fcybersecurity%2F2019%2F02%2Fsupply-chain-attacks-spiked-78-percent-2018-cyber-researchers-found%2F154996%2F&#038;data=02%7C01%7Ctware%40mco.com%7C3ba76ac2be03497f6c2f08d73d49eda2%7C1d5c96e57ee2446dbed8d0f8c50edea5%7C1%7C1%7C637045260059061730&#038;sdata=kw0r7Fnin2YKa6X3hYYzcQM5kiK40DG37xnv%2BpH%2Bw0A%3D&#038;reserved=0\">78 percent<\/a> between 2017 and 2018. With thousands of suppliers supporting the government system, there is a critical need for risk management services, as well as scalable tools and software that can identify threats and mitigate risk throughout the supply chain. This is a continuous process, It takes requires time and resources, and can only be done if the private and public sectors work together to create baseline security standards for the Department of Defense and its partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While a secure electoral system and supply chain are crucial to protecting our democracy, these are just two vulnerable sectors of our nation\u2019s larger critical infrastructure framework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Collaborating to create change<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how can government and corporations collaborate to make our infrastructure more secure? First, all parties must keep CISA\u2019s five core principles in mind as they drive operational change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When looking across all domains of critical infrastructure \u2015 from the electric grid and public utilities, to transportation, healthcare and financial institutions \u2015 industry and government should drive toward a coordinated, enterprise security ecosystem that protects our data and critical systems. We must share threat intelligence and capabilities faster to keep operations running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this model to be successful, we need a broad and dramatic cultural shift. Agency awareness and transformation will ensure collaboration, information sharing and trust between both the public and private sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Focusing on the future<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release of CISA\u2019s strategic intent sends a clear message: We can no longer think about cyber vulnerabilities after they\u2019re breached by malicious actors. Instead, we must proactively institute innovative and scalable solutions that track and deter threats for agencies of all sizes. Collaborating on CISA\u2019s priorities will not only protect our government, but also corporations and individuals. Cybersecurity practices will be built into our society\u2019s infrastructure, improving resiliency and mitigating the severity of attacks that disrupt global security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The threat doesn\u2019t stand still, and neither can we.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>John DeSimone is vice president for cybersecurity and special missions at Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We can no longer think about cyber vulnerabilities after they\u2019re breached by malicious actors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":37496,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":24,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"8":{"categories":["opinions","home","daily-brief","newsletters"],"primary_category":"opinions"}}},"categories":[106,29,32,24],"tags":[],"coauthors":[7540],"class_list":["post-18092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-brief","category-home","category-newsletters","category-opinion"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"RGC5ZJXPABFRZHJ5AFORLAEKVU","arc_canonical_url":"\/opinion\/2019\/09\/20\/the-key-to-success-for-the-cybersecurity-and-infrastructure-security-agencys-vision-action\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The key to success for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency\u2019s vision?
