Thirteen new members have joined an advisory committee within the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency tasked with advising the CISA director on policies and programs meant to improve the country’s cyber defense.
Jen Easterly, director of CISA and a 2023 Wash100 awardee, said in a statement published Monday the new members bring government and industry experience to the CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee.
“Chosen for their deep expertise in critical infrastructure, cybersecurity, and governance, these members will add important new perspectives to the CSAC’s work, particularly given this year’s additional focus on corporate cyber responsibility, technology product safety, and efforts to raise the cyber hygiene baseline of ‘target rich-cyber poor’ entities like hospitals, K-12 school districts, and water utilities,” Easterly added.
The committee is set to hold a virtual meeting on Tuesday, March 21.

- Alex Tosheff, senior vice president and chief security officer, VMware
