When CISA Goes Dark, Who’s Most at Risk?

With more than half of CISA’s workforce sidelined during a government shutdown, the ripple effects extend beyond Washington.

Industries that rely on federal cyber defense and threat intelligence are left exposed:

- Critical Infrastructure: Energy, water, and transportation operators who depend on federal alerts to safeguard OT/ICS environments.

- Healthcare: Hospitals and pharmaceutical networks vulnerable to ransomware and medical device exploits.

- State & Local Governments: Cities, schools, and agencies that lean on CISA for vulnerability scanning and response coordination.

- Financial Services: Banks and credit unions facing sophisticated fraud and deepfake-enabled attacks.

- Defense & Manufacturing: Contractors and producers managing sensitive supply chains now operating with less federal oversight.

How InfoSight Helps

InfoSight fills the gaps left during shutdowns:

1. Continuous threat monitoring across IT and OT systems

2. Sector-specific intelligence to replace delayed federal alerts

3. Incident triage and containment without waiting for government resources

4. Advisory services to reduce dependency on federal response capacity

5. Shutdown or not, adversaries don’t pause. InfoSight ensures your defenses don’t either.
