Cyber Crime

Conduct a cybersecurity vulnerability assessment using the form provided by TSA and submit the form to TSA. The vulnerability assessment will include an assessment of current practices and activities to address cyber risks to information and operational technology systems, identify gaps in current cybersecurity measures, and identify remediation measures and a plan for the owner/operator to implement the remediation measures to address any vulnerabilities and gaps. To address the threats posed on our nation’s cybersecurity defenses, the Federal Government must continue to advance technical and policy protection capabilities for national systems. We must also expand partnerships with the private sector and work with Congress to clarify roles and responsibilities.

Learn how businesses and organizations can work with the FBI to get ahead of the threat and make an impact on our cyber adversaries. I agree to the use of my personal data by Government Executive Media Group and its partners to serve me targeted ads.

We are committed to ensuring you have the tools, resources, and support you need to continue doing so successfully. This sprint is dedicated to the Department’s international cybersecurity activities ranging from those outlined in CISA’s first international “CISA Global” strategy to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Strategic Outlook to protect Agency Cybersecurity and operate in cyberspace, an inherently international effort. Most of the cybercrime investigations that the Secret Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Homeland Security Investigations pursue every day also include a transnational dimension that requires cooperation with law enforcement partners around the globe.

Cyber-attacks could potentially target communications and navigation systems, power grids, and various elements of the transportation sector to disrupt the nation’s ability to command and control operations. 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. After his presentation, the Secretary was joined by Judith Batty, Interim CEO of the Girls Scouts, for a fireside chat to discuss the unprecedented cybersecurity challenges currently facing the United States.

The Cybersecurity Operations Center shall serve as a clearinghouse for threat information and coordinate with the Department of Law Enforcement to support state agencies and their response to any confirmed or suspected cybersecurity incident. Annually provide cybersecurity training to all state agency technology professionals and employees with access to highly sensitive information which develops, assesses, and documents competencies by role and skill level. The cybersecurity training curriculum must include training on the identification of each cybersecurity incident severity level referenced in sub-subparagraph 9.a. Establishing agency cybersecurity incident response teams and describing their responsibilities for responding to cybersecurity incidents, including breaches of personal information containing confidential or exempt data. Malicious cyber activity threatens the public’s safety and our national and economic security. Our goal is to change the behavior of criminals and nation-states who believe they can compromise U.S. networks, steal financial and intellectual property, and put critical infrastructure at risk without facing risk themselves.

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. ET to participate in an operational discussion that will address areas of critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities and priorities for CISA. 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. For example, CISA generally addressed practices related to using data and evidence to support its planned reforms and engaging its employees in the organizational change process. The agency partially addressed practices related to, for example, defining goals and outcomes and conducting workforce planning.
