The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) circulated an internal framework on November 5, 2026, to help senior officials assess and respond to major cybersecurity threats. This framework aims to enable timely decision-making by focusing on critical information requirements and priority intelligence requirements. It outlines six operational focus areas, including national risk assessment and defending against major cyber threats. The guidance comes as CISA prepares for leadership changes following President Trump's nomination of Michael LoSapio to head the agency. The framework aligns with CISA's broader 2030 strategy, emphasizing improved threat intelligence and infrastructure protection. Additional guidance is expected in the coming months to assist divisions in adopting these priorities.
