The Cybersecurity 202: Here are the 55 things the U.S. government most needs to protect against cyberattacks
Christopher Krebs, director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
The plan is part of a broader DHS effort to shift to a “risk-based” approach to cybersecurity — in other words, devoting more time and money to threats that could do the most damage. DHS’s previous system for categorizing digital threats focused on 16 critical infrastructure sectors but didn’t deal with the complex web of interdependence between them. And it didn't distinguish between truly vital systems, like those that deliver electricity, versus less vital ones, such as that electric utility's public-facing website.
The department also plans to work with industry to identify which functions are the most critical of the critical. The department will use that prioritized list — which it may or may not make public — to frame conversations with industry about cybersecurity tactics and to guide DHS’s budget requests to Congress, Krebs said.
