Situation
Due to the ongoing degradation in Ukrainian and Russian relations, today, intelligence agencies from major NATO member nations have issued a warning against imminent nation state cyber threats from Russia. For example, the US Department of Homeland Security issued a warning of an 'imminent cyber threat' against both American companies and government agencies. We are writing to assure you that Contrast continues to monitor the global landscape with regard to increased cyberattacks.
A national security source disclosed to Fox News that Russia 'may soon launch attacks against critical U.S infrastructure" after the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) put out a statement last week saying that every organization within the United States is 'at risk from cyber threats'.
CISA stated "[e]very organization in the United States is at risk from cyber threats that can disrupt essential services and potentially result in impacts to public safety".
