CISA Urges Organizations to Implement Immediate Cybersecurity Measures to Protect Against Potential Threats

 In response to recent malicious cyber incidents in Ukraine—including the
defacement of government websites and the presence of potentially destructive
malware on Ukrainian systems—CISA has published CISA
Insights: Implement Cybersecurity Measures Now to Protect Against Potential
Critical Threats
. The CISA Insights strongly urges leaders and network
defenders to be on alert for malicious cyber activity and provides a checklist
of concrete actions that every organization—regardless of sector or size—can
take immediately to: 

  • Reduce the likelihood of a damaging cyber
    intrusion, 
  • Detect a potential intrusion, 
  • Ensure the organization is prepared to respond if an
    intrusion occurs, and 
  • Maximize the organization’s resilience to a destructive
    cyber incident.

CISA urges senior leaders and network defenders to review the CISA
Insights
and implement the cybersecurity measures on the checklist.
