CISA urges critical infrastructure owners to prioritize OT security, operational continuity, recovery planning in 2026 campaign

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) launched its November 2026 Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month campaign, calling on organizations to strengthen their ability to withstand and recover from disruptions. The initiative emphasizes coordinated action across federal, state, local, and private sectors to address cyber and physical threats, with particular focus on operational technology and industrial control systems. CISA is providing resources and guidance to help organizations identify critical systems, understand dependencies, develop response plans, and track progress on resilience improvements.

Why it matters: Critical infrastructure owners and operators must act now to inventory essential systems and their external dependencies, assess risks, and exercise recovery procedures, as cascading failures across interconnected sectors can disrupt essential services and affect public safety and economic stability.
