The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is the United States' cyber-risk advisor, seeking to defend against computer and Internet threats and build a secure, resilient ICT infrastructure for the future. CISA is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.[1]
Overview
The CISA was founded in 2018 as a U.S. federal government agency dedicated to capacity-building for defending against Cyber attacks and providing Cybersecurity tools, incident response services and assessing the capacity to safeguard the .gov networks that support critical infrastructure. The agency collaborates with private and public sectors to deliver technical assistance and assessments. The CISA is also focused on ensuring public safety and emergency interoperable communications at all levels of government.
NRMC
The National Risk Management Center (NRMC), which is housed within the CISA, is a planning, analysis, and collaboration center for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing risks to critical infrastructure.
Critical Infrastructure
There are 16 sectors whose assets, systems, and networks are so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on national security, the economy, and public health and safety.[2]
