The U.S. Government’s One-Stop Shop to Stop Ransomware
July 21, 2021
John and I are big fans of CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), a division of Homeland Security.
CISA has really become a valuable source of cybersecurity information and guidance. So we are delighted to see CISA publish a Stop Ransomware website.
Recently, CISA launched a new website to help public and private organizations defend against the rise in ransomware cases. StopRansomware.gov gives one central location for ransomware resources and alerts. CISA encourages organizations to use this new website to understand the threat of ransomware, mitigate risk, and in the event of an attack, to know what steps to take.
The StopRansomware.gov webpage is an interagency resource that provides partners and stakeholders with ransomware protection, detection, and response guidance that they can use on a single website. This includes ransomware alerts, reports, and resources from CISA, the FBI, and other federal partners.
CISA plans to partner with additional federal agencies working on curbing the rise in ransomware.
Don’t know how to report a ransomware incident to the FBI and other government agencies? That information may be found at https://www.cisa.gov/stopransomware/report-ransomware-0.
