On 21 March 2022 the White House published a statement and fact sheet cautioning that Russia may explore cyberattacks against U.S. critical infrastructure amid the war in Ukraine. The guidance urges immediate implementation of CISA’s Shields Up controls—MFA, patching known exploited vulnerabilities, offline backups, and validated incident response playbooks—and calls for rapid reporting to the FBI and CISA.

Critical infrastructure and suppliers should re-verify logging, segmentation, and remote access controls, rehearse response communications, and align threat hunting with Russia-attributed TTPs cataloged by CISA and partners.
