"CyberSentry Program Launches Webpage"
CyberSentry is a US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)-managed capability for threat detection and monitoring, governed by an agreement between CISA and voluntarily participating critical infrastructure partners that operate major systems supporting National Critical Functions (NCFs). CyberSentry looks for known and unknown malicious activity that impacts Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) networks. CISA's CyberSentry program supports trusted partnerships between CISA and each participating organization. The program has had much success, such as discovering an infection on a partner's Human Machine Interface (HMI) equipment that had been improperly patched and secured. CISA analysts promptly alerted the partner to the issue and provided recommendations for preventative measures. CyberSentry data also helped quickly identify partners impacted by the SolarWinds supply chain breach. This article continues to discuss the mission and recent successes of CISA's CyberSentry program.
