Summary:

The Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC) has published its 2024 Priorities, which aim to tackle more challenging and forward-leaning cyber risks that could evolve in the future. The priorities are organized around three focus areas: Defend Against Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Operations, Raise the Baseline, and Anticipate Emerging Technology and Risks. The six specific priorities include:

1. Discover and defend against malicious abuse by APT actors, particularly those backed by the People's Republic of China.
2. Prepare for major cyber incidents and elevate critical infrastructure's capacity for resiliency and recovery.
3. Help secure state and local election officials' networks and infrastructure against cyber threats.
4. Measurably decrease the impact of ransomware on critical infrastructure.
5. Make measurable progress toward a world where technology is Secure by Design.
6. Decrease the risk posed by AI to critical infrastructure.

The JCDC's mission is to foster a collaborative environment for industry and government partners to drive positive change for the nation's cybersecurity.
