    Hi All,

    CISA just published FCEB OPERATIONAL CYBERSECURITY ALIGNMENT (FOCAL) PLAN

    Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released the Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) Operational Cybersecurity Alignment (FOCAL) Plan. Developed in collaboration with FCEB agencies, this plan provides standard, essential components of enterprise operational cybersecurity and aligns the collective operational defense capabilities across the federal enterprise.

    Currently, federal agencies maintain their own networks and system architectures-and they independently manage their cyber risk. CISA's FOCAL plan aligns the federal enterprise, empowering agencies to better address the dynamic cyber threat environment collectively. The plan recommends actions that substantively advance operational cybersecurity improvements and alignment goals. 

    For additional guidance, visit CISA's Securing Networks web page: 'https://www.cisa.gov/topics/cyber-threats-and-advisories/securing-networks'

    All of the recent analysis shows that cybersecurity failures leading to data breaches and ransomware (for example from IBM, Verizon, Cisco etc)  continue to accelerate alarmingly. 
    The rising number of data breaches is evidence that we are facing a cybersecurity crisis-and it's time for a change.

    This discussion paper delves into the realities of modern cybersecurity, exploring why breaches continue to grow and what must be done to turn the tide. From outdated practices to missed opportunities for innovation, we need a fresh approach to protect our data and systems.
