    CISA publishes red-team advisory for two critical infrastructure organizations

    Industry Or Public Sector Update

    CISA published an advisory summarizing red team assessments requested by two critical infrastructure organizations, covering detection, response, and protections in IT, cloud, and OT environments. The advisory says one organization’s SOC remained undetected after initial access, privilege escalation, and lateral movement, while the other organization’s SOC detected and quarantined initial access and some follow-on activity. CISA provided reports of findings and recommendations to strengthen cybersecurity posture and resilience, and urged organizations to review the guidance and apply relevant mitigations.
