CISA tells govt agencies to patch critical exploited flaws in 3 days
By Bill Toulas
AI Summary
CISA's new Binding Operational Directive 26-04 significantly tightens federal patching timelines, requiring Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies to remediate the most critical exploited vulnerabilities within just 3 days — down from previous 14-day windows. The directive ties prioritization to the KEV catalog and gives agencies 180 days to update their vulnerability management policies. This sets a new benchmark that private-sector security programs will likely be pressured to emulate.
