A top official emphasized the importance of sharing cybersecurity solutions throughout the community during the Black Hat conference. Acting Federal CIO Mike Duffy called for dialogue among federal CISOs to facilitate learning and scaling of effective practices. He highlighted the need to move beyond checklist-style zero trust approaches and focus on operational implementations. Additionally, despite efforts to reduce CISA's mission scope, Duffy asserted that policymaking remains crucial for optimizing the cybersecurity landscape, ensuring that organizations demonstrate effective security measures.
Duffy emphasized the need for cyber solutions to be shared within the community, stating, "all of us have a little piece of that puzzle" in addressing cybersecurity issues.
Duffy mentioned the significance of open communication among federal CISOs, saying, "It's that communication, that dialog, that we have that's so important for the policy process and in the policy implementation."
The emphasis was on moving away from checklist-style zero trust approaches, as Duffy noted, "Now is a moment where I'm very focused on the operational aspects of what that means."
Policymaking remains critical in cybersecurity, as Duffy highlighted that optimizing the cybersecurity landscape is essential despite recent downsizing of CISA's regulations.
