CISA has directed federal agencies to prioritize patching based on four urgency criteria, including public exposure, exploit automation, system takeover potential, and active real-world exploitation. The new BOD 26-04 aims to speed remediation for the most critical vulnerabilities, with some fixes required in as little as three days and broader policy updates due over the next 180 days. #CISA #BOD26-04 #KEVCatalog
Keypoints
- CISA told federal agencies to patch smarter by using four vulnerability priority criteria.
- Critical flaws meeting all four criteria must be fixed within three days.
- Agencies must perform forensic triage if systems may have been compromised.
- Known exploited vulnerabilities on CISA’s must-patch list require ongoing remediation.
- CISA says AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery and weaponization.
