CISA says it is about to change how U.S. federal agencies handle software flaws, telling them to focus first on the vulnerabilities and systems that pose the highest real-world risk. Acting Director Nick Andersen said a binding operational directive due Wednesday will shift agencies away from treating every patch the same and toward prioritizing internet-exposed assets, Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, exploit automation, and critical functions; CISA also plans closer risk reviews with critical infrastructure operators.
