U.S. Information‑Sharing Under Strain: Law Sunset, Budget Cuts and Operational Drag Threaten Timely Threat Intelligence
A key 2015 information‑sharing statute has lapsed pending reauthorization, and CISA faces a near $500 million reduction in resources, undermining the speed and fidelity of threat intelligence between government and industry. Recent high‑velocity exploits, supply‑chain disclosures and regulatory penalties show why near‑real‑time, context‑rich sharing is increasingly critical — and increasingly brittle without legal clarity and processing capacity.
CISA orders federal agencies to inventory, patch and phase out unsupported edge devices
CISA has issued a binding directive requiring federal civilian agencies to identify, upgrade and remove internet-exposed edge devices that no longer receive vendor security updates, citing active exploitation by advanced threat actors. Agencies have staged deadlines — three months to inventory, 12 months to start removals and 18 months to finish decommissioning — with continuous monitoring required thereafter.
