CISA releases 2024 priorities for the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative

CISA announced the 2024 priorities for the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative, emphasizing defense against APT operations (with attention to Chinese state-backed threats), raising baseline protections for critical infrastructure, and anticipating risks from emerging technologies. Plans include updating the National Cyber Incident Response Plan, accelerating secure-by-design initiatives, reducing ransomware impact, and addressing AI-related risks, amid criticism that JCDC must deliver more technical, timely value to industry and government partners.
