As Acting Assistant Director, she oversees the Center’s efforts to facilitate a strategic, cross-sector, risk management approach to cyber and physical threats to critical infrastructure. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency leads the national effort to understand, manage, and reduce risk to our cyber and physical infrastructure. We connect our stakeholders in industry and government to each other and to resources, analyses, and tools to help them build their own cyber, communications, and physical security and resilience, in turn helping to ensure a secure and resilient infrastructure for the American people. Our 2021 Year in Reviewdisplays key examples of CISA’s work to carry out its mission in 2021, including milestones and accomplishments as the Agency advanced strategic priorities to maintain a secure and resilient infrastructure for the nation. The Department emphasizes the importance of a thorough due diligence process in evaluating the cybersecurity practices of a Third Party Service Provider.

Fresenius Kabi also identified that approximatively 1,200 infusion pumps would need hardware changes. Until replacements can be made in customers’ installations, Fresenius Kabi recommends users rely on CISA’s recommendations for temporary alternatives. Agency Cybersecurity Health care delivery organizations are advised to follow the recommendations published by CISA and Fresenius Kabi to avoid cybersecurity risks that could affect the safety and essential performance of the Fresenius Kabi Agilia Connect Infusion System.

As threats continue to evolve, we know that no single organization or entity has all the answers for how to address cyber and physical threats to critical infrastructure. By bringing together our insight and capabilities, we can build a collective defense against the threats we face. New York is a signatory to the Nationwide Cooperative Agreement, Revised as of December 9, 1997 (the “Agreement”), an agreement among state banking regulators that addresses supervision in an interstate branching environment.

Its Information Operations Center is especially focused on activity that occurs on the internet. TheRAND report statesthe CIA is most interested in applicants who have a master’s degree in a cyber-oriented field. The tools catalog is the latest in a string of initiatives launched by CISA to combat cyber threats and help organizations adopt foundational measures to maximize resilience by patching security flaws in software, enforcing multi-factor authentication, and halting bad practices. The "Free Cybersecurity Services and Tools" resource hub comprises a mix of 101 services provided by CISA, open-source utilities, and other implements offered by private and public sector organizations across the cybersecurity community. Such requirements may provide for exceptions in circumstances necessitated by unique mission needs.

The state chief information security officer shall be notified of all confirmed or suspected incidents or threats of state agency information technology resources and must report such incidents or threats to the state chief information officer and the Governor. To adapt to the growing destructive potential of cyberattacks, and to safeguard financial services organizations and the confidential information of New Yorkers, DFS needs access to more immediate information about the conditions of the firms they oversee. The new program, a first among regulators, combines the traditional regulatory approach with modern cybersecurity risk assessment tools that will enhance DFS’s ability to monitor cyber risk at the thousands of New York financial services companies it regulates. The incorporation of private-sector cybersecurity assessment tools allows DFS to better and faster assess the cyber risk facing DFS regulated entities. Moreover, this comprehensive assessment will provide a systematic approach to measuring cyber risk, improve transparency in regulatory oversight, drive policy, and enable DFS to focus its examinations and guidance on the areas of most significant risk.
