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.
