Ransomware Roundup: Cities and Schools Are High-Profile Targets
IT budget constraints and lack of dedicated resources make public networks used by cities and schools enticing targets for cybercriminals. These recent cases show just how fast ransomware attacks can disrupt unprepared organizations.
As a response, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency released a plan to help schools strengthen their cybersecurity. Considering the resource and budget hurdles districts tend to face, it recommends small steps, encouraging organizations to start with a “small number of prioritized investments,” like setting up multi-factor authentication, creating and testing an incident response plan and implementing cybersecurity training.
It’s never a bad time for your organization to get up to speed on the latest cyber strategies. Register now for our Cyber Resilience course and discover how business continuity and cybersecurity must integrate within every organization, using the five elements of cyber resilience: prepare/identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. Collectively, these concepts and the resulting action plans will help to develop a strategy to effectively respond to unforeseen events and get your organization back up and running as quickly as possible.
