CISA Urges Critical Infrastructure to Prepare for Isolation During Conflicts
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is advising critical infrastructure operators to prepare for delivering essential services under emergency conditions, potentially for extended periods. This initiative, known as CI Fortify, aims to protect operational technology from cyberattacks by isolating systems from IT networks and third-party vendors. CISA is conducting targeted assessments to ensure infrastructure can operate independently during conflicts. The agency highlights threats from state-sponsored hackers, particularly Chinese groups Salt Typhoon and Volt Typhoon, which pose risks to sectors like electricity, water, and internet. CISA's strategy includes isolation and recovery plans to maintain service delivery during emergencies.
