Duties
CISA works with government and industry to identify, analyze, prioritize, and manage the most significant strategic risks to the nation's critical infrastructure. Through the National Risk Management Center (NRMC), CISA identifies and supports risk reduction activities by securing strategic analytical value in support of the American people. The NRMC was established in 2018 to serve as the Nation's center for critical infrastructure risk analysis. NRMC supports CISA leadership and operations; Federal partners; State, local, tribal, territorial partners; and the broader critical infrastructure community. It is through collaboration with these partners that CISA can identify the most significant risks to the nation and coordinate risk reduction activities to ensure critical infrastructure is secure and resilient both now and into the future.
NRMC is dedicated to anticipating and evaluating emerging risks and using those insights to develop timely and actionable risk management advice to help mitigate national-level risks to critical infrastructure. The Strategic Foresight Subdivision leads our efforts to inform NRMC and CISA operational planning and to identify priority risk management topics to reduce the risk of strategic surprise. The Strategic Foresight Subdivision leads our efforts to forecast potential risks, develop mitigation strategies, and accelerate research to enhance the resilience of our critical infrastructure. These activities enable the critical infrastructure community to confront potential risks before they become real-world incidents.
