Overview
U.S. federal civilian agencies are being pushed to reduce exposure at the network perimeter. CISA has issued a binding operational directive requiring agencies to identify edge devices that are past vendor support and remove/replace them on a defined timeline, positioning unsupported perimeter infrastructure as a material source of risk and technical debt.
