Assignment
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is a standalone United States federal agency, an operational component under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) oversight. CISA's mission is to lead the national effort in understanding and managing cyber and physical risk. Its activities are a continuation of the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD).
CISA was established in November 2018 when President Donald Trump signed into law the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act. CISA works closely with the intelligence community, law enforcement, private sector partners, and others across the Federal Government to ensure cybersecurity. An important element of CISA's strategic planning process is managing the infusion of emerging technologies and investment toward a balanced mix of technology capabilities to best accomplish its mission.
