CISA, FBI warn critical infrastructure partners: Stay vigilant over the holidays

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI have warned critical infrastructure partners that cyberattacks are likely to continue during the holiday season. While no specific threats have been identified, previous incidents during holidays have raised concerns. CISA and the FBI recommend implementing security measures such as identifying IT security employees available during holidays, using multifactor authentication, mandating strong passwords, securing remote desktop protocol, educating employees about phishing scams, and updating incident response and communication plans.
