The details: As the power industry reckons with AI-fueled cyber threats, CISA is preparing to batten down the hatches. The org’s agenda for 2030: 1) Amp up operational technology system defenses 2) prioritize critical infrastructure like the grid and 3) lean into public-private partnerships to work ahead of threats.
The deadlines: Within 60 days, CISA plans to review its “core services and capabilities.” And by next year, the agency will offer a progress update.
Awkward: CISA must carry out these ambitious goals with a skeleton crew—the agency has lost about a third of its workforce over President Trump’s second term. And a few months ago, the org announced it was canceling six key cybersecurity reviews for critical infrastructure operators.
