CISA’S CY BERSEC URIT Y
Goals and Objectives
Our Cybersecurity Strategic Plan includes goals and associated objectives
that will be executed through Annual Operating Plans, assigning each CISA
organization responsibilities for key milestones and metrics. Importantly,
our three goals do not operate in isolation, as shown below.
GOA L 1 | Our understanding of immediate and
emerging threats will enable us to prioritize
investment in the security controls, product attributes,
and services that most effectively reduce risks.

GOA L 2 | As we provide guidance and services that
help organizations prioritize reductions in enterprise
risk, we will more clearly define the risks that can be
most effectively addressed by safer products.
GOA L 3 | As we advance security across the
product lifecycle, we will force threat actors to adopt
more time-consuming and expensive tactics, reducing
the prevalence of attacks.
