Inherent Features of Dragos Platform Enable Federal Agencies to Meet New CISA BOD Requirements
Summary: CISA issued a Binding Operational Directive (BOD 23-01) requiring federal civilian executive branch agencies to change their asset discovery, vulnerability detection, and reporting practices, with requirements in place by April 3, 2023, and progress reports to CISA through CyberScope in April 2023, October 2023, and April 2024. Dragos states that its platform's inherent features let customers meet the directive, and warns that active discovery methods valid on enterprise IT networks carry risk in ICS/OT environments where tools can cause accidental outages or give adversaries a direct path into control systems.
Why it matters: The directive covers OT and ICS as well as IT, and Dragos notes that a discovery tool interacting with sensitive OT devices can cause an accidental outage or hand an adversary a means to reach the control system directly - so the choice of how agencies scan is itself a risk decision.
