In his most urgent warning yet, President Biden on Monday told American companies to strengthen their cybersecurity measures following intelligence reports that indicate Russia is seeking retaliation for U.S. economic sanctions.
Means of retaliation: “‘The more Putin’s back is against the wall, the greater the severity of the tactics he may employ … one of the tools he’s most likely to use in my view, in our view, is cyberattacks,’ Biden said on Monday,” according to POLITICO Pro. “‘The magnitude of Russia’s cyber capacity is fairly consequential, and it’s coming,’ he continued.”
Forewarned is forearmed: Federal agencies recently gathered more than 100 U.S. companies to share information on the new intelligence, according to POLITICO Pro.
“Clear and present danger”: “Tom Kellermann, the head of cybersecurity strategy at VMware, said Monday that ‘there is a clear and present danger’ to the U.S. given efforts by Russian-linked cyber threat groups in recent months. ‘Destructive cyberattacks are imminent,’ he said,” according to POLITICO Pro.
Just the facts: The White House also put out a fact sheet listing ways companies can protect themselves against cyberattacks.
