ALEXANDRIA, Va.– Credit unions are being encouraged to provide feedback to the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) on how they can “best support critical infrastructure organizations.”
As NCUA noted, Congress has directed CISA to provide scalable commercial cybersecurity shared services to the critical infrastructure community to detect and prevent cybersecurity threats and mitigate vulnerabilities to improve America’s risk posture.
“CISA is prioritizing innovative solutions to customers but requires more feedback from these organizations,” NCUA said in a statement.
The agency noted financial institutions—including credit unions of all sizes—are considered critical infrastructure in the United States and should always operate under the assumption that they are a target for cyber criminals and potentially hostile foreign nations.
How to Participate in Survey
To ensure appropriate prioritization, CISA is encouraging credit unions to participate in the Critical Infrastructure Pilot Customer Survey.
The agencies said the information collected from this survey will inform the selection of cybersecurity services offered by CISA to Critical Infrastructure organizations such as credit unions in the future. The survey is live and will close on July 8, 2024.
Questions should be directed to CISA at sector.governance@cisa.dhs.gov.
