CISA Mandates 3-Day Fix for Agency Security Bugs

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a directive requiring US federal agencies to address critical security vulnerabilities within a mere three days. This accelerated timeline is a direct response to the escalating threat landscape, particularly the rapid exploitation of flaws by artificial intelligence-powered tools. Officials emphasize that the speed of cyberattacks has increased dramatically, leaving defenders with no room for delayed patching. The new mandate aims to bolster the security posture of government systems against increasingly sophisticated and swift cyber threats.
