Health care, financial services and IT infrastructure are among the most frequent targets of ransomware in the nation’s critical infrastructure sectors, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
A DHS memo issued to critical infrastructure providers in early June provides a vulnerability matrix for 11 of the 16 critical infrastructure sectors the agency is charged with protecting.
The memo doesn’t address malware vulnerabilities for the government facilities, food and agriculture, the defense industrial base, nuclear reactors, materials and waste or critical manufacturing sectors.
