On July 15, 2021, the U.S. government launched a new website (StopRansomware.gov) to help organizations reduce their risk from ransomware. This website provides organizations of all sizes with resources to better protect their networks and highlights the latest ransomware-related alerts from U.S. government agencies.

 StopRansonware.gov includes information about the critical steps that should be taken to respond to and recover from a cyber incident. This includes a comprehensive Ransomware Guide and Cyber Hygiene services that are available at no cost to help organizations with vulnerability scanning, web application scanning, penetration testing, and phishing assessments. These services can help assess, identify, and reduce exposure to cyber threats like ransomware.

For any questions about this new resource, please utilize the Contact Us info at https://go.usa.gov/xFcWx.

This Alert will automatically expire on July 22, 2021.
