The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced Thursday that it is rescinding 10 Emergency Directives (Eds) issued between 2019 and 2024.
Here is a list of directives that are currently considered closed:
CISA said these directives were issued to protect Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies from potential risks, and that it is working closely with federal agencies to modify the directives, incorporate best practices, and establish a more resilient digital infrastructure.
CISA also added that such directives are promulgated to ensure that emerging threats are mitigated in a timely manner, and that the necessary measures to mitigate the significant risks of known and exploited vulnerabilities are successfully implemented or enforced through Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01.
“As the federal cybersecurity operations officer, CISA uses its authority to strengthen federal systems and defend against unacceptable risks, particularly those associated with hostile nation-state actors,” said Madhu Gotumukkara, CISA Acting Administrator. “The termination of these 10 emergency directives reflects CISA’s commitment to operational collaboration across the federal government.
“Every day, CISA’s great teams work with our partners to eliminate persistent access, combat emerging threats, and provide real-time mitigation guidance. CISA continues to advance our Secure by Design principles, which prioritize transparency, composability, and interoperability, to help all organizations better defend their diverse environments.”
