CISA concurred with this recommendation and in September 2021 described actions planned and under way to implement it. Specifically, the agency stated that it is developing a draft workplan and timeline to identify metrics and establish an outcome-oriented performance measurement approach. Once complete, CISA stated that this plan will, among other things, gauge the agency's efforts to meet the identified goals of the organizational transformation. CISA plans to complete its effort to identify outcome-oriented performance measures by March 31, 2022.

The FBI fosters this team approach through unique hubs where government, industry, and academia form long-term trusted relationships to combine efforts against cyber threats. Our adversaries look to exploit gaps in our intelligence and information security networks. The FBI is committed to working with our federal counterparts, our foreign partners, and the private sector to close those gaps. US-CERT strives for a safer, stronger Internet for all Americans by responding to major incidents, analyzing threats, and exchanging critical cybersecurity information with trusted partners around the world.

To do this, we use our unique mix of authorities, capabilities, and partnerships to impose consequences against our cyber adversaries. This agenda item addresses areas of CISA's operations that include critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities and priorities for CISA. Government officials will share sensitive information with CSAC members on initiatives and future security requirements for assessing cyber risks to critical infrastructure. CISA concurred with this recommendation and in September 2021 stated that it has conducted an initial methodological assessment of potential approaches to measure fragmentation, duplication, and overlap, as well as an initial review of a baseline analysis. Further, the agency stated that it plans to further refine its measurement approach, including estimates of cost savings generated by the reorganization. Once the agency provides documentation of its actions, we plan to verify that implementation has occurred.

Federal agencies will make offers across spring and summer of 2023, and most agency placements will start in the summer or fall of 2023. Submit to the Florida Digital Service, within 1 week after the remediation of a cybersecurity incident or ransomware incident, an after-action report that summarizes the incident, the incident’s resolution, and any insights gained as a result of the incident.

The Centre provides cyber security services to NCI Agency customers and users, as well as to all other elements of the Agency. FTA has aggregated cybersecurity resources below to support transit agencies as they prepare for, mitigate, and respond to cybersecurity issues. This sprint will focus on the need to cement the resilience of the Nation's democratic infrastructures and protect the integrity of its elections. Leveraging the lessons learned from the previous elections and the relationships CISA has built with local and state authorities across the country, this sprint will ensure election security remains a top priority every year, and not only during election season. During this sprint, the Secretary will focus specifically on the need to increase the cyber resilience of the Nation’s transportation systems – from aviation to rail, pipelines, and the marine transport system. Coast Guard, and CISA are all part of DHS, which presents a unique opportunity for the Department to make progress in this area, to leverage respective best practices, and to deepen the collaboration with the U.S.

GAO was asked to review CISA's organizational transformative initiative and its ability to coordinate effectively with stakeholders. Until CISA updates its milestones and fully implements its plans, it may be difficult for it to identify and respond to cybersecurity incidents, such as the major cyberattack reported in December 2020 that affected both government and private industry. WASHINGTON -- Today, the Department of Homeland Security announced a first-of-its-kind cybersecurity grant program specifically for state, local, and territorial governments across the country. This State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program, made possible thanks to President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, provides $1 billion in funding to SLT partners over four years, with $185 million available for FY22, to support SLT efforts to address cyber risk to their information systems.

Threats to the nation's critical infrastructures and the information technology systems that support them require a concerted effort among federal agencies; state, local, tribal, and territorial governments; and the private sector to ensure their security. The seriousness of the threat was reinforced by the December 2020 discovery of a cyberattack that has had widespread impact on government agencies, critical infrastructures, and private-sector companies. CISA acts as the quarterback for the federal cybersecurity team, protecting and defending the home front—our federal civilian government networks—in close partnership with the Office of Management and Budget, which is responsible federal cyber security overall. CISA also coordinates the execution of our national cyber defense, leading asset response for significant cyber incidents and ensures that timely and actionable information is shared across federal and non-federal and private sector partners. Of 10 selected key practices for effective agency reforms previously identified by GAO, CISA’s organizational transformation generally addressed four, partially addressed five, and did not address one.
