Seven Practical Steps to Increase Cyber Resilience
CTIX urges organizations to implement the following hardening techniques:
- Ensure that their incident response plan and playbooks are up to date and ready for execution
- Bolster threat intelligence capabilities to ensure awareness of this dynamic situation
- Harden internet-facing servers and applications
- Review all third-party vendors and their permitted privileges
- Monitor email traffic for phishing links and malicious documents
- Institute multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all user accounts enterprise-wide
- Ensure backups are present and working in the case of data wiping attack
