SIPA Cybersecurity with Shield and Lock

Cybersecurity: Secure - Invest - Protect - Act

Coordinated Phishing Attempts Targeted Election Officials in 9 States, says FBI
"Though the cyberattacks occurred nearly six months ago, the FBI is warning state and local government officials that the threat is still very real heading into the 2022 election season.

In response to the threat, the FBI recommends companies and government officials implement a number of preventative security measures, including educating employees on how to identify phishing attempts, creating protocols for employees to report suspicious emails and requiring all accounts with password logins to have strong, unique passphrases."

The FBI's Official Notification Report has more recommendations.

Please check out our cybersecurity offerings on our Services Page.
