CISA ransomware warning program will launch this year
The program has issued 2,049 warnings since January 2023.
According to CISA’s FAQ page for the program, the tool “[e]valuates external network presence by executing continuous scans of public, static IPv4s for accessible services and vulnerabilities. This service provides weekly vulnerability reports and ad-hoc alerts.” Easterly added that CISA will also occasionally use its administrative subpoena power to identify the points of contact for organizations that haven’t signed up for its services and alert them about vulnerabilities it’s found on their internet-facing devices. The number of victims reported by ransomware leak sites increased by 49 percent from 2022 to 2023, according to an analysis earlier this year by one threat intelligence firm.
