The FOCAL plan is certainly not intended to deliver an extensive or thorough listing of everything that an agency or CISA have to accomplish. It is tailored to focus sources on those actions that greatly progress working cybersecurity enhancements as well as positioning goals," CISA explains.Advertisement.
