Shields Up! What You Should Be Doing To Prepare For Russian Cyberattacks

February 23, 2022 - On Tuesday, February 22, President Biden condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and imposed new economic sanctions on Russia. At the same time, U.S. government officials warned of the potential for retaliatory cyberattacks. The Department of Homeland Security noted that "every organization in the United States is at risk from cyber threats" and urged businesses to bolster their cyber defenses.

There have already been reports of Russian cyberattacks against Ukraine. Last week, the United States and the United Kingdom accused Russia of disabling Ukrainian governmental and banking websites. There is concern that such attacks may continue and, if history is any guide, cyberattacks on Ukraine do not stay in Ukraine.
