CISA's early-warning system helped critical orgs close 852 ransomware holes

An interview with CISA’s Gabe Davis outlines the Ransomware Vulnerability Warning Pilot launched in January 2023, which sent 1,754 notifications to US critical infrastructure about internet-exposed vulnerabilities linked to ransomware, with about 49% resulting in mitigation actions. Originating from CIRCIA (March 2022), the initiative aims to become fully automated by the end of next year as part of CISA’s broader efforts to harden targets against ransomware threats.
