CISA Prioritizes Risk Management Amid AI Surge

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is adopting a new strategy focused on "ruthless" prioritization. This shift comes as the agency faces increasing demands from new artificial intelligence (AI) mandates and struggles with a reduced workforce. Acting Director Nick Andersen indicated this change in approach at a recent conference, emphasizing the need to manage growing cybersecurity risks effectively in the face of evolving technological landscapes and resource constraints. The agency aims to streamline its operations and focus on the most critical threats.
