Staying Ahead of Ransomware Threats | Qualys
Summary: CISA's Ransomware Vulnerability Warning Pilot proactively identifies information systems carrying vulnerabilities commonly exploited by ransomware actors and notifies their owners so they can mitigate before an intrusion occurs. The program draws on existing authorities and data sources, including the Cyber Hygiene Vulnerability Scanning service and the Administrative Subpoena Authority granted to CISA under the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
What's compelling: CISA's notifications are optional to act on, so the warning only reduces risk if the organization that receives it has the means to find and fix the exposed system in time.
