CISA’S ROLE IN INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Critical infrastructure (CI) across all sectors depend on control systems for
safe and efficient operation. Advancing the security and resilience of
industrial control systems (ICS) is one of CISA’s top priorities. As the lead
federal agency responsible for helping CI partners manage ICS security risk, we
partner with government and industry to deploy the technologies and practices
that will guard critical infrastructure from the threats of today, while
building innovative capabilities to defend against emerging threats on the
horizon.
CISA’S INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS PRIORITIES AND GOALS
The security of industrial control systems is among the most important aspects
of our collective effort to defend cyberspace. As ever, CISA remains committed
to working with the industrial control systems (ICS) community to address both
urgent operational cyber events and long-term ICS risk.
While the ICS risk landscape evolves, this truth remains: the only way the
nation can permanently shift the cybersecurity advantage to ICS cyber defenders
is through collective action.
Building on CISA’s “Securing Industrial Control systems: A Unified Initiative,”
published in 2020, CISA’s efforts to reduce cyber risk to control systems center
around four core priorities.
* We must defend ICS environments against the most urgent threats.
* Find and defeat adversaries before they cause harm. CISA and its partners
will work together to improve visibility in OT environments so that we
identify and defeat malicious activity quickly before it causes wide-spread
harm.
* We must equip critical infrastructure owners and operators and cyber
defenders with the technologies and tools required to dramatically raise
adversary time, costs, and technical barriers.
* Finally, we must sustain operational resilience by addressing systemic
weaknesses to better enable control systems to withstand cyber incidents with
minimal impact to critical infrastructure.
With those priorities in mind, here are 3 goals we’re working on:
* Goal #1: CISA is working to develop and publish cross-sector and
sector-specific cybersecurity performance goals – or CPG – across critical
infrastructure sectors
* CISA is leading an effort with the NIST to develop Cybersecurity
Performance Goals, that apply to IT and OT owners across all critical
infrastructure sectors.
* The CPGs will contain actionable, measurable, attestable, and
easily-implementable controls for IT and OT owners that significantly
reduce risk to their enterprises and national security more broadly.
* Once finalized, the Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals will
supersede the preliminary control systems performance goals established in
fall of 2021.
* Goal #2: CISA is significantly investing in our ICS workforce, especially
technical experts. That means we’re hiring! Come work with us!
* Goal #3: CISA will continue to collaborate cross-agency and with industry to
track, detect, analyze, and respond to novel threats.
