The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said Monday that its goal is to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure from all cyber threats, including those from Russia.
“CISA’s mission is to defend against all cyber threats to U.S. Critical Infrastructure, including from Russia,” according to a message posted on the agency’s X, formerly Twitter, handle. “There has been no change in our posture.
