Fortress Information Security Deploys Automated Patch Notification and Authenticity tool to help secure Critical Assets from Hostile Nation-States
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have clearly warned that U.S. critical infrastructure is under attack. The three federal agencies outlined how "Volt Typhoon," a group of threat actors working under the direction of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), pose a serious challenge to operators of transportation, commerce, clean water, and electricity services.
- Volt Typhoon exploits online assets that have not been updated with the latest vulnerability patches.
- Fortress Information Security is working with America's leading power companies to limit exposure from abroad by ensuring notification of security updates as soon as they are available.
- "If one of America's adversaries has used software to open a backdoor and get into a network, FIA will help security pros close the door."
- "Fortress research has shown that much of the software used by energy companies is NOT secure by design," said Santos.
