ASD’s ACSC, CISA, and US and International Partners Release Guidance on Detecting and Mitigating Active Directory Compromises
Sep 25, 2024
Today, the Australian Signals Directorate Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASD ACSC), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and other U.S. and international partners released the joint guide Detecting and Mitigating Active Directory Compromises. This guide informs organizations of recommended strategies to mitigate common techniques used by malicious actors to compromise Active Directory. Active Directory is the most widely used authentication and authorization solution in enterprise information technology (IT) networks globally. Malicious actors routinely target Active Directory as part of efforts to compromise enterprise IT networks by escalating privileges and targeting the highest confidential user objects. Responding to and recovering from malicious activity involving Active Directory can be consuming, costly, and disruptive. CISA encourages organizations review the guidance and implement the recommended mitigations to improve Active Directory security.

CISA and FBI Release Secure by Design Alert on Eliminating Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
Sep 17, 2024
Today, CISA and FBI released a Secure by Design Alert, Eliminating Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities, as a part of our ongoing effort to reduce the prevalence of vulnerability classes at scale. Vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting (XSS) continue to appear in software, enabling threat actors to exploit them. However, cross-site scripting vulnerabilities are preventable and should not be present in software products. CISA and FBI urge CEOs and other business leaders at technology manufacturers to direct their technical leaders/teams to review past instances of these defects and create a strategic plan to prevent them in the future. Visit our website to learn more about the principles of Secure by Design, take the Secure by Design Pledge, and stay informed on the latest Secure by Design Alerts.
New CISA Plan Aligns Federal Agencies in Cyber Defense
Sep 16, 2024
Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released the Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) Operational Cybersecurity Alignment (FOCAL) Plan. Developed in collaboration with FCEB agencies, this plan provides standard, essential components of enterprise operational cybersecurity and aligns the collective operational defense capabilities across the federal enterprise. Currently, federal agencies maintain their own networks and system architectures—and they independently manage their cyber risk. CISA’s FOCAL plan aligns the federal enterprise, empowering agencies to better address the dynamic cyber threat environment collectively. The plan recommends actions that substantively advance operational cybersecurity improvements and alignment goals. For additional guidance, visit CISA’s Securing Networks web page.
