Cyber Hygiene Helps Organizations Mitigate Ransomware-Related Vulnerabilities

On April 25, 2024 , CISA released a post on our vulnerability scanning service. Here are some key points:

This service provides timely notification to critical infrastructure organizations to mitigate vulnerabilities and protect their networks and systems.
Organizations participating in this no-cost service typically reduce their risk and exposure by 40% within the first 12 months and most see improvements in the first 90 days.
1,754 notifications were completed in 2023.

*Value includes notifications for K-12 schools and districts, higher education facilities, SLTT government organizations, and U.S federal agencies.
