CISA has New Program to Tighten ICS Security

In an effort to fortify our critical infrastructure security, CISA has a new program to enhance cyber resilience of participating partners using CISA’s advanced threat detection and monitoring capabilities.

The program is called CyberSentry and it is designed to work across industries, in real time and monitor both traditional IT networks and those control or ICS networks that are used all over the place in areas like electricity, refining, water, mining and many other industries.

The target company has to sign an agreement with CISA, similar to what DoD contractors can do with the NSA, to allow them to monitor things.

The insights they get from partner “A” can be used to improve the overall security of all partners, across all industries.

This is about time; using the power of the government to make us safer is a good thing. Credit: Data Breach Today
