PURPOSE
This Strategic Plan communicates the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency’s (CISA) mission and vision, promotes unity of effort
across the agency and our partners, and defines success for CISA as
an agency. It describes the stakeholder, policy, and operational context
in which we must perform and presents the strategic changes CISA will
make to better execute our vital mission over the next three years. It
builds on and aligns with the United States Department of Homeland
Security Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2020 – 2024. CISA will implement
the Strategic Plan through the agency’s division and office-level Annual
Operating Plans (AOP).
ABOUT CISA
Established by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act
of 2018, CISA serves as both America’s cyber defense agency and as
the national coordinator for critical infrastructure security and
resilience. This vast mission space necessitates engagements and
partnerships with stakeholders worldwide as well as a strong domestic,
regional presence. The threats we face — digital and physical,
human-made, technological, and natural — are more complex, and the
threat actors more diverse, than at any point in our history. CISA is at the
center of mobilizing a collective defense as we lead the nation’s efforts
to understand, manage, and reduce risk to our critical infrastructure.
Through all our efforts, we will remain vigilant about preserving the
American people’s privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.
