The CompTIA Information Sharing and Analysis Organization and the Information Technology – Information Sharing and Analysis Center said companies must take immediate steps to review and, if necessary, upgrade their cybersecurity defenses and to prepare for the potential consequences of a nation-state sponsored cyberattack.
IT-ISAC Executive Director Scott Algeier added, “”Nation state actors have a long history of attacking U.S. critical infrastructure. We need to be prepared for them to deploy additional capabilities throughout times of heightened tensions and potential conflict.”
The CompTIA ISAO and IT-ISAC teams will continue to provide updated reporting and share new threat information as it becomes available.
IT-ISAC members are leveraging the IT-ISAC’s intelligence management platform, adversary attack playbooks, and secure collaboration channels to share threat intelligence.
Members of the CompTIA ISAO are encouraged to monitor and share information via the organization’s Cyber Forum. The CompTIA ISAO has also opened a public thread to assist the entire industry in discussing and responding to any attacks that may stem from the current tensions.
