Highlights of the HVA Requirement
Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 18-02, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is focused on enhancing the security of High-Value Assets (HVAs) within federal agencies. High-Value Assets are federal information systems, information, and data that, if compromised, could cause significant impact to the United States’ national security, economy, public health, or safety. BOD 18-02 outlines the steps and measures federal agencies must take to better protect these assets from cybersecurity threats.
