Here are five actions the agencies encouraged executives to take to protect their organizations against cyberattacks:
- Ensure your organization has IT security employees who will be available to respond to a ransomware attack on weekends and holidays.
- Require multifactor authentication for remote access and administrative accounts.
- Mandate strong passwords and ensure they are not reused.
- Ensure the security and monitoring of any potentially risky service, such as remote desktop protocol.
- Raise cybersecurity awareness among employees by conducting training sessions and reminding them not to click on suspicious links.
