US gov agencies get mandatory patching orders

US gov agencies get mandatory patching orders

The United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has made it compulsory that all parts of the federal government quickly patch against known vulnerabilities.

How far will this "fly", I wonder? Some agencies (local &/or Federal) may not have enough manpower to support (patch and fix what the patches broke the next day) this directive.

NOTE: I know this directive only affects Federal-level, however, not sure if my question is "valid" or not.
