Impact to ICS Security Effort with Dir. Krebs Firing

Published: Nov. 23, 2020, 1 p.m.

President Trump fired CISA Director Chris Krebs. The firing was election related, but CISA is also the lead government agency on ICS security. I talked with Marty Edwards about how large changeover like this affects the effort, and what the community should realistically expect from CISA.

Marty is now with Tenable, and he is well known as the longest serving Director of ICS-CERT (the predecessor to CISA for ICS security efforts). Marty is more optimistic and appreciative of CISA's efforts than Dale is. So it makes for an interesting conversation.
