Kate Diemidio, formerly with Dragos, is set to join CISA as the legislative affairs chief. Her expertise includes policy experience at SecurityScorecard and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, along with federal roles at the Department of Homeland Security. Diemidio's focus will likely include the renewal of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 and enhancing information-sharing mechanisms between industry and government. She emphasizes the need for efficient collaboration to improve cybersecurity defenses, leveraging the expertise available in the private sector.
I think one of the things that there was criticism of CISA in the past for was it being a place where information goes in, but not a whole lot comes back out that wasn't already known.
So I think that's going to be key for agencies: How can they use the mechanisms they have in place, improve them, improve their collaboration with industry, to not only take in the information that industry has... but then turn that back around out to industry.
I think there's a recognition that a lot of the subject matter expertise resides in industry, not just in government.
