Agency

Government agencies serve as the primary architects of digital resilience by establishing authoritative frameworks that bridge the gap between national policy and technical implementation. Their role in publishing cybersecurity standards—such as those produced by NIST or ENISA—is to provide a standardized “common language” that allows diverse organizations to measure, manage, and mitigate systemic risks.
