OCSIA reiterating guidance to firms on protection measures
Government says there's currently no evidence to suggest the Russian state had any involvement in a recent cyber-attack on a Manx company.
Earlier this week it was confirmed Strix, based at Ronaldsway, had been hit by a cyber-attack which, at the time, was suspected to be of Russian origin.
It's now believed the ransomware used in the incident is a strain called 'Lockbit 2.0' which is commonly attributed to Russian-speaking cyber criminals.
The Office of Cyber Security and Information Assurance (OCSIA) is reiterating guidance for companies on protecting their data.
Those guidelines are:
- Patching systems
- Improving access controls and enabling multi-factor authentication
- Implementing an effective incident response plan
- Checking that backup and restore mechanisms are working
- Ensuring that online defences are working as expected
- Keeping up to date with the latest threat and mitigation information
