INDIANA – In light of the Russian military attack on Ukraine, the global threat of cybersecurity risks also are on the rise, both on the international and local levels. The military action already has been accompanied by cyberattacks on the Ukrainian government and critical infrastructure organizations.
While there are no specific or credible cyber threats to the U.S. homeland at this time, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is warning organizations of the potential for Russia’s destabilizing actions to impact organizations both within and beyond the region, particularly in the wake of sanctions imposed by the United States and its Allies. Every organization—large and small—must be prepared to respond to disruptive cyber activity
CISA has launched a new Shields Up site to provide the latest guidance and information to help organizations increase their resilience to cyberattacks and protect people and property. This robust catalog of free resources will be especially helpful today, as the cybersecurity threats facing the world have increased exponentially.
Together with the partners at CISA, the State of Indiana urges organizations to maintain a heightened sense of awareness and vigilance in preserving and protecting their critical systems/infrastructure.
To report a cyberattack or a cyber-related incident, please be sure to call the State of Indiana Emergency Operations Center (EOC) watch desk at 317-238-1751.
