CISA directs federal agencies to replace end-of-life edge devices within 12 months

CISA has ordered federal agencies to replace end-of-life edge devices within 12 months due to cybersecurity risks. These devices, accessible via the internet, no longer receive security updates, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks. Agencies must transition to vendor-supported equipment. The directive emphasizes improving lifecycle management and adopting Zero Trust principles to enhance federal network security.
