BSA Raises Concerns to DHS Secretary Over CISA Guidance
Inside Cybersecurity
By Sara Friedman
The Business Software Alliance is raising concerns to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over guidance developed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, arguing that the agency should refocus its mission on “operational cybersecurity.”
“CISA’s core mission is to protect the federal civilian government networks (.gov), share information with private-sector partners, and support operational cybersecurity activities that protect American critical infrastructure,” BSA CEO Victoria Espinel writes in a March 6 letter to Noem.
Espinel writes, “In these operational cybersecurity roles, CISA provides a valuable resource to support industry in detecting and responding to cyber threats. BSA supports these operational cybersecurity activities.”
