Malicious cyber actors recognize our dependence on technology and constantly attempt to exploit this reliance for financial or strategic gain. Too often, they succeed. Their success is enabled by an environment of insecurity, in which our enterprises are too difficult to defend, and our technology products are too vulnerable to protect.

Ransomware attacks — the use of malicious software to deny users access to data and information systems to extort ransom payments from victims — are prevalent. A recent notable example is the May 2021 ransomware attack that temporarily shut down the Colonial Pipeline Company’s network, affecting gasoline availability and prices. This attack is but one of many; in 2020 alone, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) received nearly 2,500 ransomware complaints with losses exceeding $29 million.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) created this factsheet to inform organizations—especially those that support critical infrastructure—about the impacts of quantum capabilities and to encourage the early planning for migration to post-quantum cryptographic standards by developing a quantum-readiness road map.

As the 2022 National Security Strategy and National Defense Strategy (NDS) makes clear, the United States is in the midst of a decisive decade where the terms of geopolitical competition between the world’s major powers will be set. The Department of Defense (DoD) will advance its priorities in three interlocking ways– through integrated deterrence, campaigning, and by building enduring advantages. Accelerated technology advancement and innovation are key elements to achieving DoD priorities through these strategic ways, and to ensure our national security over the long term.

As the times have shifted in the last decade or so, we have started to depend more and more upon our computers as well as other electronic devices for our needs. The United States’ reliance on networked systems and the high costs associated with cyber attacks have led many leaders in the US government and the Department of Defense (DOD) to prioritize protecting our critical networked infrastructure. Part of that focus is trying to develop a strategy for deterring adversaries from attacking our networks in the first place.

A frightened dog bolts from an airport into the roar of city streets, driven by one stubborn instinct: get back home. He survives by nose and nerve—dodging crowds, slipping through alleys, and scavenging whatever he can. Each new stop offers a brief chapter of kindness: a stranger kneels with food, a clinic patches him up, families in Missouri and Indiana give him a name, a bed, and the hope of “forever.” But the pull inside him is louder than comfort, and he slips away again and again, following an invisible compass only he can feel.

Since the introduction of multi-user computer systems, user authentication has primarily relied on the use of usernames and passwords. To strengthen the authentication process, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requires the user to present multiple elements in different categories, or “factors,” as part of an authentication attempt. These factors are something you have, something you know, and something you are.

Our mindset plays a significant role in determining our behavior. It is the lens through which we perceive the world and interpret events. A positive mindset empowers us to approach challenges with resilience and optimism, while a negative mindset can lead to self-doubt and limiting beliefs. By recognizing the connection between mindset and behavior, we can consciously choose thoughts that support positive habits.

All organizations face a broad array of risks, including cybersecurity risk. For federal agencies, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-11 defines risk as “the effect of uncertainty on objectives”. An organization’s mission and business objectives can be impacted by such effects, and must be managed at various levels within the organization. This report highlights aspects of cybersecurity risk management (CSRM) inherent to enterprises, organizations, and systems.

Every organization in the United States is at risk from cyber threats that can disrupt essential services and potentially result in impacts to public safety. Over the past year, cyber incidents have impacted many companies, nonprofits, and other organizations, large and small, across multiple sectors of the economy. The identification of destructive malware is particularly alarming given that similar malware has been deployed in the past - e.g., NotPetya and WannaCry ransomware - to cause significant, widespread damage to critical infrastructure.

The Snake implant is considered the most sophisticated cyber espionage tool designed and used by Center 16 of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) for long-term intelligence collection on sensitive targets. To conduct operations using this tool, the FSB created a covert peer-to-peer (P2P) network of numerous Snake-infected computers worldwide.

Reducing your organization’s cyber risks requires a holistic approach - similar to the approach you would take to address other operational risks. As with other risks, cyber risks can threaten. Managing cyber risks requires building a culture of cyber readiness.

Guidance for securing networks continues to evolve as new vulnerabilities are exploited by adversaries, new security features are implemented, and new methods of securing devices are identified. All networks are at risk of compromise, especially if devices are not properly configured and maintained. This report presents best practices for overall network security and protection of individual network devices, and will assist administrators in preventing an adversary from exploiting their network.
