The change comes after years of lax or nonexistent regulations for critical sectors, while critical services are also coming under steady ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The administration\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/biden-national-cybersecurity-strategy-2023\/\">national cybersecurity strategy<\/a> stressed that the voluntary management of cyber risks by critical sectors is no longer acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>The decade-old policy was issued during the Obama administration \u2014 before CISA was created, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CISAgov\/status\/1725168293965598919\">five years ago on Thursday<\/a> \u2014 and is a much anticipated policy rewrite. The strategy was not created with cybersecurity concerns heavily in mind, particularly as cyber threats like ransomware have pummeled critical infrastructure sectors in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>The policy has only been updated once: in the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, to add responsibilities to the sector risk management agencies (SRMA) in charge of each sector.<\/p>\n<p>The CSC 2.0, which is a continuation of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission established by Congress in 2019, released a <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/solarium-commission-critical-infrastructure-ppd-21\/\">series of recommendations<\/a> and criticisms for the Biden administration\u2019s rewrite, including increasing the resources of the agencies that are not properly equipped to act as an SRMA.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div class=\"single-article__tags-container\">\n<h4 class=\"single-article__tags-title\">In This Story<\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<p> <\/html><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-article__ads js-single-article-sidebar\">\n<div class=\"ad ad--sidebar js-single-article-sidebar-5 ad--rightrail_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ad ad--sidebar js-single-article-sidebar-4 ad--rightrail_2 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ad ad--sidebar js-single-article-sidebar-3 ad--rightrail_3 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"popular-stories popular-stories--single-post\">\n<div class=\"popular-stories__container\">\n<h2 class=\"popular-stories__title\"> More Scoops <\/h2>\n<div class=\"popular-stories__stories\">\n<div class=\"popular-stories__cards\">\n<article class=\"post-item post-item--popular-stories-cards \" readability=\"23.62676056338\">\n<figure class=\"post-item__thumbnail\"> <a class=\"post-item__thumbnail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/cisa-zero-day-ransomware\/\" tabindex=\"-1\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"449\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-1.jpg?resize=449%2C337&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-ratio-16-9-md size-ratio-16-9-md wp-post-image\" alt decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-5.jpg 2016w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-5.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-5.jpg?resize=768,576 768w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-5.jpg?resize=1024,768 1024w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-5.jpg?resize=1536,1152 1536w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-5.jpg?resize=600,450 600w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-5.jpg?resize=224,168 224w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-5.jpg?resize=449,337 449w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-5.jpg?resize=900,675 900w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/critical-infrastructure-policy-rewrite-expected-to-emphasize-cisa-nsc-official-says-5.jpg?resize=1124,843 1124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\"> <\/a><figcaption class=\"screen-reader-text\"> From left, the NSA\u2019s Darren Turner, OMB\u2019s Nick Polk and CISA\u2019s Michael Duffy participate in a cybersecurity governance panel at ACT-IAC\u2019s Imagine Nation ELC conference in Hershey, Pa., on Oct. 30, 2023.
