MESSAGE
FROM THE DIRECTOR
I
am proud to share the 2023 – 2025 CISA Strategic Plan, the first
comprehensive Strategic Plan since CISA was established as an
Agency in 2018. The Strategic Plan represents a forward-leaning,
unified approach to achieving our vision of ensuring secure and
resilient critical infrastructure for the American people.
At CISA, we lead the national effort to understand, manage, and reduce
risk to the cyber and physical infrastructure that Americans rely on
every hour of every day. The risks we face are complex, geographically
dispersed, and affect a diverse array of our stakeholders, including
federal civilian government agencies, private sector companies, state,
local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments, and ultimately the
American people. It is our duty to work with our stakeholders to mitigate
these risks to preserve our national security, economic stability, and the
health and safety of all our citizens.
Our Strategic Plan lays out four ambitious goals that we must achieve to
address the diverse and dynamic challenges facing our nation.
First, we will spearhead a national effort to ensure the defense and
resilience of cyberspace. In our role as America’s cyber defense agency,
we must build the national capacity to defend against, and recover
from, cyberattacks. We must work with federal partners to bolster their
cybersecurity and incident response postures and safeguard the federal
civilian executive branch networks that support our nation’s essential
operations. And we must partner with the private sector and SLTT
governments to detect and mitigate cyber threats and vulnerabilities
before they become incidents.
