Amid a slew of ransomware attacks, consistent threats from nation-state actors and election security fears with the 2020 election around the corner, the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said he envisions his new agency as the United States\u2019 \u201crisk adviser\u201d in cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur job … is not deploying strike teams, fast roping into sites and locking down networks,\u201dsaid CISA Director Chris Krebs in an Aug. 22 speech at Auburn University unveiling CISA\u2019s new \u201cstrategic intent<\/a>.\u201d \u201cOur job is much more community building [and] capacity building, bringing everybody together to understand what the risks are [and] what they need to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krebs laid out his strategic vision for CISA, a DHS agency established in November 2018 to protect the nation\u2019s critical infrastructure, as going forward under two core goals: defend today and secure tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are active threats, ransomware is all over the place \u2014 that\u2019s defending today,\u201d Krebs said. \u201cThe secure tomorrow piece is a little bit different. Securing tomorrow is about what\u2019s the next generation of technology going to look like and have we baked in the appropriate security concepts?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first of Krebs five strategic principles was leading critical infrastructure protection \u201cin a collaborative way,” he said. His job, he said, is to provide information, insight, coordination mechanism to help organizations manage risk, calling CISA \u201cfacilitators of better cybersecurity.” Collaboration is key part of CISA\u2019s mission because it generally lacks regulatory authority, meaning that its programs largely rely on voluntary participation from state and local officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhatever we do has to be done together,” Krebs said. “And in cybersecurity that\u2019s the only way we\u2019re going to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krebs also said that moving forward his agency will take a results-driven approach, identifying what stakeholders need and designing its answers to those needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t just sit back in a good ideas factory, think up things to do and then roll out a 98 percent solution and offer it out,\u201d Krebs said. \u201cWe got to come at it from a different approach. What do our partners, our stakeholders actually need and then architect solution around that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CISA will also have to pick and choose its battles, Krebs said, given the broad range of security threats facing the nation. There are the four big nation-state actors: Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. But, Krebs said, there\u2019s a fifth threat that CISA has to pay attention to now as well: cybercriminals doing ransomware attacks, like the one in Texas just this week. Ransomware attacks are the most visible cyberattacks Americans see everyday, Krebs said, whereas they don\u2019t see the nation-state activity that\u2019s in classified intelligence reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to be able to focus on both on that really exquisite [nation-state] threat and design solutions and engage to manage risk,” Krebs said. “But at the same time, making sure that we\u2019re working the broader more general more publicly visible threat as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CISA will also operate in a way that\u2019s \u201cconsistent with American values,\u201d Krebs said, not imposing itself on state and local governments. Instead of forcing technology like sensors on different organizations, CISA instead will help \u201cbetter protect their networks, give them concepts, road maps, strategic frameworks on how they can mange themselves and if they need capabilities, we\u2019ll work on that together.\u201d On Aug. 21, CISA released <\/a>the first part of its new \u201cCISA Insights\u201d program, which provided guidance for protecting against and handling a ransomware attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defending today doctrine includes emerging threats and supply chain risks, Krebs said, in addition to instant communication between different levels of government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to protect the nation from cyber threats, the government needs to \u201censure that when the federal government has information that we\u2019re pushing it out to people who can do something about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent report from the Senate Intelligence Committee outlined several shortfalls in the relationship between states and the federal government in the 2016 election, including states complaining that they did not receive proper context regarding cyberthreats that the federal government sent out. In 2018, according to CISA\u2019s strategic intent document, 500 CISA employees had a hand in election security preparedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CISA\u2019s securing tomorrow doctrine is taking a holistic approach to security, from IT to industrial control systems to insider threats, Krebs said. Built on top of that, Krebs said that a primary focus for CISA is working within the government to increase a \u201cdefensible posture\u201d across the civilian agencies, which all manage their own networks, thereby owning their own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is not a particularity defensible posture,” Krebs said. \u201cSo our job at CISA is to help those 99 agencies defend themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mitigate this problem, Krebs said he\u2019s in conversations with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and officials in the Office of Management and Budget about creating a better solution for better network protection at federal civilian agencies. In fiscal year 2018, federal civilian agencies had 31,000 cyber incidents, according to a new OMB report.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo in five years you may see a completely different architecture across agencies,\u201d Krebs said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategic intent document laid out by CISA received praise from House Homeland Security chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who said he was \u201cencouraged\u201d by Krebs\u2019 strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know that our nation\u2019s banks, hospitals, power plants, election systems, and state and local governments are under constant attack, and CISA must stand ready to help these owners and operators shore up their defenses. This Strategic Intent document sets forth an ambitious agenda, and I hope to hear more from Director Krebs about how he plans to execute the priorities outlined today, and what resources CISA will need in order to do so,\u201d said Thompson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
