CISA issues sweeping federal directive for government cybersecurity

It comes as there has been two major hacks in the last 10 years.

The Biden administration is ordering federal agencies to fix hundreds of vulnerabilities in software and hardware that hackers have been known to exploit, according to a new government directive released Wednesday. The first-of-its-kind directive, issued by the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, includes a list of vulnerabilities "that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise" with technical specifics that agency leaders are required to review and address within 60 days. Some areas will require a more immediate fix, according to CISA.
