CISA’s Urgent Directive: Shielding Federal Agencies from Exploitation ASAP

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued Emergency Directive (ED) 24-01 in response to the prevalence of vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure and Ivanti Policy Secure products. The directive mandates immediate actions for federal civilian executive branch agencies to enhance their cybersecurity posture and prevent exploitation by malicious actors. The emergency directive applies not only to federal agencies but to all sectors that use these products. CISA urges all stakeholders to review and adopt the actions outlined in the directive to reduce the risk of compromise and fortify their systems against cyber threats.
