DHS Releases Analysis of FY20 Risk and Vulnerability Assessments
CISA has released an analysis and infographic detailing the findings from the Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (RVAs) conducted in Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 across multiple sectors.

The infographic provides a high-level snapshot of five potential attack paths and breaks out the most successful techniques for each tactic that the RVAs documented.
