US Secret Service hosts cybersecurity incident response exercise with public and private sector partners
The U.S. Secret Service hosted a virtual Cyber Incident Response Simulation with business leaders, law enforcement and other private sector partners focused on ransomware and cryptocurrency attacks and mitigation strategies.
“The Department of Homeland Security is proud to be working closely with CISA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and industry folks like all of you who are essentially the backbone of our economy,” said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “Businesses like yours make up one half to three quarters of the ransomware victims in this country, and the Secret Service is taking action to help. You are taking an important step in protecting your business and employees.”
