Every organization in the United States is at risk from cyber threats that can disrupt essential services and potentially result in impacts to public safety. Over the past year, cyber incidents have impacted many companies, nonprofits, and other organizations, large and small, across multiple sectors of the economy.

Most recently, public and private entities in Ukraine have suffered a series of malicious cyber incidents, including website defacement and private-sector reports of potentially destructive malware on their systems that could result in severe harm to critical functions.

The identification of destructive malware is particularly alarming given that similar malware has been deployed in the past - e.g., NotPetya and WannaCry ransomware - to cause significant, widespread damage to critical infrastructure.
