The US government's cybersecurity nerve center launched its Ransomware Vulnerability Warning Pilot scheme in January 2023, sending out 1,754 notifications urging entities to address exploitable flaws promptly to avoid ransomware attacks.
Almost half of the notifications from the pilot program led to organizations patching vulnerabilities, taking systems offline for fixes, or mitigating flaws, showcasing a positive response to the warnings provided.
The program emerged from the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act signed by President Biden, aimed at becoming a fully automated warning system by the upcoming year to enhance cybersecurity efforts against ransomware threats.
CISA offers multiple tools, including the pilot program, to assist Americans in combating ransomware and cyber threats, employing strategies akin to a full-court press to impede threat actors financially and operationally.
