CISA

CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, is a U.S. federal agency under the Department of Homeland Security responsible for protecting critical infrastructure and federal systems from cyber threats. In the AI governance context, CISA plays an increasingly important role by issuing guidance, alerts, and frameworks for securing AI systems, particularly those deployed in critical infrastructure and government operations. Their AI-related directives and recommendations help enterprises align their AI security practices with federal standards and mitigate risks associated with AI model vulnerabilities and supply chain threats.

Operators are urged to implement documented human-override mechanisms and robust audit logging before stricter regulations arrive.
