Over the coming year, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency plans to concentrate more of its attention on critical infrastructure sectors that adversaries target due to the essential services they provide but which don’t have the assets to defend themselves, according to Director Jen Easterly.
The agency will dedicate more of its resources to helping “specifically, water, hospitals and K-12 schools,” prepare for and respond to cyberattacks, Easterly said Thursday at a conference hosted by cybersecurity firm Mandiant.
