## Resource

The Department of Homeland Security is pushing cyber modernization across civilian agencies through CISA programs such as zero trust implementation, Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation, and Trusted Internet Connections 3.0. Budget requests have kept CISA funding near $3 billion, supporting multi-year investments in detection, response, and workforce. Leadership from Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, CISA Director Jen Easterly, and DHS CIO Eric Hysen emphasizes joint defense, binding directives, and cross-component coordination. Workforce constraints persist despite the Cyber Talent Management System, prompting greater use of training and managed services. Acquisition relies on vehicles like FirstSource III, PACTS III, GSA MAS, NASA SEWP, and CDM DEFEND task orders. Compliance requirements now center on OMB secure software guidance, NIST control baselines, FIPS 140-3, and FedRAMP. Vendors that map capabilities to CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model and prepare attestations and authorizations can better align to agency buying priorities.
