Aims fit with performance goals, most notable of which are the declines in exploitable services and known exploited vulnerability tickets.
Just under 8,000 critical infrastructure organisations enrolled in CISA’s Cyber Hygiene service over the past two years.
According to CyberScoop, such a spike in enrolment has also correlated with gains in the agency's six cybersecurity performance goals, most notable of which are the declines in exploitable services and known exploited vulnerability tickets.
However, internet-exposed operational technology protocols remained prevalent among critical infrastructure entities, particularly those in the government services and facilities industry.
The communications industry logged the highest increase in enrolment between 2022 and 2024, followed by the emergency services, critical manufacturing, and water and wastewater sectors, the
CISA report revealed.
