The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has mandated federal agencies to enhance their cloud security practices under SCuBA, aiming to mitigate unauthorized access risks.
CISA's directive, inspired partly by the 2020 SolarWinds incident, seeks to establish a consistent security approach across federal cloud environments, promoting a defensible government posture.
CISA emphasized that the directive is not in response to a specific event but addresses the range of threats posed by skilled and opportunistic cybercriminals alike.
A new requirement for federal agencies includes reporting cloud systems to CISA by 2025, thereby formalizing adherence to SCuBA standards for improving cybersecurity.
