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
