WASHINGTON—The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued two alerts addressing risks from Russian State-Sponsored cyber threats and highlighting recent malicious cyber incidents suffered by public and private entities in Ukraine.
NCUA, along with CISA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the National Security Agency encourage credit unions and their cybersecurity teams nationwide to adopt a heightened state of awareness and to conduct proactive threat hunting, CUNA noted.
According to CUNA, credit union leaders should be aware of critical cyber risks and take urgent steps to reduce the likelihood and impact of a potentially damaging compromise.
NCUA has encouraged credit unions to review the two CISA issuances and act on the applicable recommendations.
The NCUA recently created the Automated Cybersecurity Evaluation Toolbox (ACET) for federally insured credit unions to evaluate their cybersecurity posture. For info: NCUA’s cybersecurity resources website
