From Cyberfooties to Cybersecurity Pants: Russia’s Playground Tactics and Our Proactive Defense

Mom’s advice on carrying an umbrella applies to the Russian Cyber Threat Protection too. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) suggests being proactive, not reactive, like mending the roof while it’s still sunny. So, pull up those cybersecurity pants and stay prepared for the Russian cyber rain, even when there’s not a cloud in sight.

Hot Take:

So, apparently the Russian government has been playing cyber-footsie with the world's critical infrastructure. They've been wandering around the cyberspace like they lost their keys. While there's no specific threat to the U.S. homeland, we're all being told to put our cybersecurity pants on. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is stepping up, warning everyone to be proactive rather than reactive. Basically, it's like your mom telling you to take an umbrella, even though it's not raining...yet.
