Today, we published an advisory, Enhancing Cyber Resilience: Insights from CISA Red Team Assessment of a U.S. Critical Infrastructure Sector Organization. Lessons learned from this assessment that can benefit all organizations include: - Assess and ensure sufficient controls to prevent and detect malicious activity; - Require continuous training, support, and resources to implement secure software configurations and detect malicious activity; and - Effective organizational leadership will not minimize the business risk of known attack vectors or deprioritize the treatment of a vulnerability their own cybersecurity team identifies. Also, the findings in this advisory illustrate the outsized burden and costs of compensating for insecure software and hardware borne by critical infrastructure owners and operators. CISA urges software manufacturers to embrace Secure by Design principles and implement the recommended actions and mitigations to improve security outcomes of their customers from real-world threats. Network defenders and software manufacturers are encouraged to review this advisory: https://go.dhs.gov/U8Y
