In a recent interview, Michael Duffy, the associate director of the cybersecurity division at CISA, shared insights into the agency’s new Federal Enterprise Operations Cyber Alignment Plan. This plan is designed to facilitate collaboration among federal agencies in addressing cyber incidents and developing a unified cybersecurity strategy. Duffy emphasized the importance of alignment in addressing cybersecurity challenges and highlighted key initiatives within the plan.
One of the key components of the plan is the known exploited vulnerabilities catalog, which agencies can use to monitor potential risks. Duffy also discussed the federal zero trust managers community of practice, which aims to standardize approaches to cyber challenges at the enterprise level. Additionally, Duffy mentioned the progress made with the mobile app vetting service, which helps identify vulnerabilities and support risk-based decision-making.
The plan includes a training program for zero trust managers to ensure a consistent and comprehensive understanding of cyber challenges.
