FYSA



Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have updated the joint cybersecurity 
advisory, Strengthening Cybersecurity of SATCOM Network Providers and 
Customers<https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-076a>, originally 
released March 17, 2022, with U.S. government attribution to Russian 
state-sponsored malicious cyber 
actors<https://www.state.gov/attribution-of-russias-malicious-cyber-activity-against-ukraine/>.
 The United States assesses Russia launched cyberattacks in late February 
against commercial satellite communications networks to disrupt Ukrainian 
command and control during the Russia invasion, and those actions had spillover 
impacts into other European countries.



CISA is working with both international and JCDC 
partners<https://www.cisa.gov/jcdc> to strengthen our collective cybersecurity 
resilience—especially in the critical infrastructure that governments and 
citizens rely on—and to protect against and respond to malicious cyber 
activity. 



We continue to urge public and private sector partners to review and implement 
the guidance contained in U.S. government cybersecurity advisories, including:



January 25: Protecting VSAT 
Communications<https://www.nsa.gov/Press-Room/Press-Releases-Statements/Press-Release-View/Article/2910409/nsa-issues-recommendations-to-protect-vsat-communications/>,

March 17: Strengthening Cybersecurity of SATCOM Network Providers and 
Customers<http://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-076a>,

April 20: Russian State-Sponsored and Criminal Threats to Critical 
Infrastructure<https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-110a>. 



CISA also recommends partners review the CISA  Shields 
Up<http://www.cisa.gov/shields-up>, Shields Up Technical 
Guidance<https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/shields-technical-guidance>, and 
Russia<https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/russia> webpages to stay current on the 
preventive measures that can help guard against Russian cyber threats and 
tactics.



All organizations are reminded that they should report incidents and anomalous 
activity to CISA 24/7 Operations Center at 
report@xxxxxxxx<mailto:report@xxxxxxxx> or (888) 282-0870 and/or to the FBI via 
your local FBI field office or the FBI’s 24/7 CyWatch at (855) 292-3937 or 
CyWatch@xxxxxxx<mailto:CyWatch@xxxxxxx>.
