There's No Better Time to Review Tools, Policies and Confirm Your Level of Protection
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to unfold, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is urging U.S. businesses to double down on cybersecurity protocols. Here at IT Solutions, our experts are on standby to help business leaders do just that.
Immediately after the conflict broke out, suspected Russian-sourced cyberattacks increased more than 800%*. The “CISA Shields Up” initiative encourages firms of all sizes to take concrete steps to reduce their odds of a cyberattack and ensure they're prepared in the event of a breach. Recommendations include assessing unusual behavior, assembling a crisis-response team, and shoring up vulnerabilities that might exist in their networks.
We understand that these extra steps are inconvenient, but they are mission-critical. U.S. businesses have been warned to watch out for a laundry list of exploits, from advanced persistent threats (APTs) to malware, ransomware, network attacks, zero-day vulnerabilities and much more.
The harsh reality is that nefarious, state-sponsored cyber-activities have always tended to escalate when geo-political tensions are high. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is no exception. If you don’t have the time or resources to ensure your organization is following cybersecurity best practices, or to request a complimentary network and security assessment, please give us a call at 1.866.PICK.ITS.
