WASHINGTON – Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) held its fourth Cybersecurity Advisory Committee meeting, with Committee members providing updates to CISA Director Jen Easterly on the work of its subcommittees. Two of the subcommittees – Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Mis- Dis- and Mal (MDM) information and Building Resilience and Reducing Systemic Risk to Critical Infrastructure – provided new recommendations to the Director.
“The Committee members’ insight is incredibly valuable to our mission and will help drive CISA forward,” said CISA Director Jen Easterly. “The Committee continues to provide thoughtful recommendations, and I look forward to their continued partnership as we strive to ensure CISA has the right strategy in place to prepare for, respond to, and mitigate cybersecurity threats to our nation’s critical infrastructure. I was especially pleased to receive recommendations from our subcommittees specializing in protecting election infrastructure from the threat of foreign malign disinformation and from our experts on building resilience and reducing systemic risk. The insight from these recommendations, and the thoughts of the full committee, promise to make CISA the cyber defense agency this nation deserves.”
During today’s meeting, Committee members provided tangible updates on the work of their subcommittees:
Director Easterly looks forward to reviewing the recommendations made during today’s Committee meeting and providing a response to the subcommittee recommendations. The next CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee will be held in December.
