CISA has issued Binding Operational Directive 26-04 to speed up patching across Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies by setting aggressive remediation deadlines for high-risk vulnerabilities, including some as short as three days. The directive replaces older CISA patching orders and relies on exposure, KEV status, automation potential, and impact level to guide remediation priorities. #CISA #BOD2604 #KnownExploitedVulnerabilities #FCEB
