CISA issued a binding directive requiring federal agencies to change how they prioritize vulnerability fixes across government networks. The directive sets remediation deadlines based on multiple factors, including whether a flaw is publicly known. This is part of CISA's response to the current threat landscape where AI-powered software services can assist threat actors in finding and exploiting vulnerabilities.
