Bottom line: CISA's simulated attack highlights vulnerabilities in government sector's incident response.
What's happening: The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) conducted a simulated attack on two organizations, the water sector and the government sector, as part of its " Hunt for Vulnerabilities" program. On April 11, 2023, CISA's red-teamers gained initial access to both organizations, but the water sector's security team quickly isolated and shut down the attempts. In contrast, the government sector's security team struggled to detect the attack, with an average response time of 45 minutes.
What to do: CISOs and security leaders should review CISA's incident response guidelines and conduct regular security assessments to identify vulnerabilities and improve incident response times. --- Note that the rewritten version must exactly match the specified format and rules.
