White House urges US businesses: Protect against potential Russian cyberattacks

Here’s a list of things that business leaders can do to prepare:

Update your systems:

Your IT teams should prioritize patching vulnerable software that is currently being exploited.

Change passwords across your networks:

This is to ensure that any previously stolen or leaked credentials will no longer work when when used to access certain resources within your business network.

Install good security software and make sure you keep it up to date.

Create multiple backups of your data:

It’s the key to bouncing back from a ransomware attack as quickly as possible, especially when done right—something one school district found out the hard way—and you want to avoid paying cybercriminals. And while we’re on the subject of backups, test your backup procedures, too.

Require the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever you can.

Educate your employees:

Ensure that they know common threat tactics, such as social engineering ploys, that may be used against them. Lower your company’s threshold of reporting incidents, so if an employee notices that their computer or phone is starting to show unusual behavior, such as crashing or suddenly running slowly, they should report it.

Keep an open line to your local FBI or CISA Regional Office:

CISA has opened 24/7 reporting avenues via [email protected] and (888)282-0870 and encourages business organizations to report cyber incidents they may encounter.
