Security measures amid global unrest
Current events: Russia v. Ukraine
From the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency:
“While there are no specific or credible cyber threats to the U.S. homeland at this time, we are mindful of the potential for Russia’s destabilizing actions to impact organizations both within and beyond the region, particularly in the wake of sanctions imposed by the United States and our Allies. Every organization—large and small—must be prepared to respond to disruptive cyber activity.
“CISA, along with our partners in the U.S. Intelligence Community, law enforcement, the military, and sector risk management agencies, is monitoring the threat environment 24/7 to discern whether those threats manifest themselves in risks to the U.S. homeland.”
Steps recommended by the agency:
“CISA recommends all organizations—regardless of size—adopt a heightened posture when it comes to cybersecurity and protecting their most critical assets.” See the recommended actions.
