What is CISA?
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for protecting critical infrastructure from cyber and physical threats. It provides guidance, threat intelligence, and incident response support to both public and private sectors.
CISA plays a key role in national cybersecurity strategy and collaborates with organizations globally to improve resilience.
What is CISA used for?
CISA is used as a trusted source of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), best practices, and security alerts. Organizations rely on CISA advisories to identify Vulnerabilities, track Indicators of Compromise (IOC), and respond to emerging threats.
It also supports Incident Response (IR), risk management, and alignment with frameworks such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
