OODA Loop – Shields Ready: Security and resilience of critical infrastructures

CISA launched the Shields Ready campaign in late 2023 to complement the Shields Up! campaign, which we have featured many times here at OODA Loop, particularly during long holiday weekends when cyberattacks are known to increase.

DHS Unveils New “Shields Ready” Campaign to Promote Critical Infrastructure Security and Resiliency

Preview

CISA Shields Ready Campaign It’s about making resilience during incidents a reality by acting Before incidents occur. In addition to CISA’s Shields Up initiative, Shields Ready stimulates action at the intersection of critical infrastructure resilience and national preparedness. This campaign is designed to help all critical infrastructure stakeholders take action to improve security and resilience, from industry and businesses to government entities at all levels, and even individuals, by providing recommendations, products and resources to increase individual and collective resilience to different contexts and risk conditions. By taking action before an incident, organizations, individuals and communities are better positioned to quickly adjust their posture in the face of increased risk conditions, helping to prevent incidents, to reduce the impact and get things back to normal – or better – as quickly as possibleBeing part of the resilience journey enables individuals, organizations and communities to be more resilient.
