ANCHOR-CI Framework Strengthens Partnerships and Information Sharing to Secure Critical Infrastructure
CISA has launched the ANCHOR-CI framework, a new alliance aimed at deepening partnerships and improving information sharing between government and the private sector to protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats.
Why this matters: Critical infrastructure security sounds abstract until a water system, hospital, or power grid goes down. The real thing to watch here is what 'information sharing' actually means in practice. Sharing threat data between agencies and private operators can genuinely help. It can also mean companies hand over sensitive operational data to the government with little clarity on how it gets used, stored, or protected. The framework's value depends entirely on what the rules around that data look like, and right now those details are thin.
