title: "Cybersecurity: Improvements Needed in Addressing Risks to Operational | ||
Technology" | ||
description: The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, published | ||
on March 7, 2024, addresses the cybersecurity risks to operational technology | ||
(OT) systems, which are crucial for controlling processes and production in | ||
critical infrastructure, such as oil pipelines. The report highlights the | ||
significant threat cyberattacks pose to these systems. It evaluates the | ||
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) efforts in providing | ||
technical assistance to critical infrastructure owners and operators to | ||
mitigate these risks. Despite some positive feedback, challenges persist, | ||
including insufficient staffing with the necessary skills at CISA and delays | ||
in addressing reported vulnerabilities. The GAO recommends that CISA improve | ||
its workforce planning and customer service measurement to better address OT | ||
cybersecurity risks. Additionally, the report identifies challenges in | ||
collaboration between CISA and other agencies, noting that CISA has not fully | ||
adopted leading collaboration practices. To enhance its support for OT | ||
cybersecurity, the GAO makes four recommendations aimed at improving CISA's | ||
products, services, and collaboration efforts. The Department of Homeland | ||
Security (DHS) has concurred with these recommendations and outlined plans for | ||
their implementation. | ||
