Ukraine and Cyber Security
With Russia’s military attack on Ukraine, the threat of cyberattacks has increased, not just for Ukrainian government agencies and companies, but worldwide. It is likely that Russia will respond to sanctions by using its considerable cyber capability. In fact, accelerated cyber attacks are already underway directed at Ukraine and may expand to nation states providing financial or military support to Ukraine, especially the U.S.
Is your organization at risk?
While the DHS has no information to suggest a specific cyber-security threat against U.S. companies, it’s everyone’s responsibility to be prepared. There have been attacks directed at Ukrainian government agencies, financial institutions and internet services which could indicate similar attacks in the west.
What you can do
Take a proactive approach to risk management and understand that geo-political risk is a component. As part of your proactive approach:
- Review your cyber incident and recovery plans and procedures to ensure they are current
- Enable Geolocation Blocking on firewalls and block all Russian public IP addresses
- Scan your entire network for any unusual activities or malware
