CISA releases new infrastructure cybersecurity goals for critical infrastructure
November 08, 2022
On October 27, 2022, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”), in partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) and the interagency community, published the first iteration of its cross-sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals (“CPGs”). Drafted in response to President Joe Biden’s July 2021 National Security Memorandum on Improving Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure Control Systems, the CPGs are voluntary measures that organizations within the critical infrastructure sectors can implement to kickstart their cybersecurity efforts, and according to CISA, will be regularly updated at least every six to twelve months.
