This is more about the agency that’s responsible for communicating what the government knows about exploited threats to the private sector and local governments. This breakdown arguably harms *you* more than the government itself. Without CISA, the private sector has less info necessary to prioritize which vulnerabilities to fix, utility companies (which China and Russia love targeting) may remain unaware of malicious actors in their networks (potentially allowing harmful amounts of chemicals…
