Should the proposition be approved, SMBs would be able to call 311 in the event of a cybersecurity incident.<\/p>\n<p>CISA&#8217;s cyberhygiene subcommittee head, George Stathakopoulos, originally floated the idea that CISA should &#8220;launch a 311 national campaign, to provide an emergency call line and clinics for assistance following cyber incidents for small and medium businesses.&#8221; The communications subcommittee also floated a similar idea.<\/p>\n<p>CISA and other cybersecurity experts have pushed for more robust incident response reporting. In March, President Joe Biden signed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/senate-bill\/3600\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Strengthening American Cybersecurity Act<\/a>, a cyber incident reporting bill requiring critical infrastructure operators to report a breach to CISA within 72 hours, and 24 hours if they made a ransomware payment.<\/p>\n<p>CISA Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity Eric Goldstein bemoaned how damaging it is for CISA to have little data over ransomware attacks in the US. Speaking to attendees in RSA, Goldstein was quoted saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;A tiny fraction of ransomware infections are reported to the government and the problem is getting worse because we don\u2019t even know what that actual number is. We have no idea the actual denominator of ransomware instructions that are occurring across the country on any given day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/awareness\/2022\/06\/dial-311-for-cybersecurity-emergencies\/\">Dial 311 for&#8230; cybersecurity emergencies?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\">Malwarebytes Labs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/awareness\/2022\/06\/dial-311-for-cybersecurity-emergencies\/\" target=\"bwo\" >https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/feed\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Credit to Author: Malwarebytes Labs| Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2022 15:51:59 +0000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cybersecurity experts want a hotline for SMBs to further encourage cyber incident reporting, especially those involving ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/awareness\/2022\/06\/dial-311-for-cybersecurity-emergencies\/\">Dial 311 for&#8230; cybersecurity emergencies?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\">Malwarebytes Labs<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[10488,10378],"tags":[26685,15496,23583,26686,23584,26687,26688,26689],"class_list":["post-19420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-malwarebytes","category-security","tag-26685","tag-awareness","tag-cisa","tag-cyber-incident-emergency-line","tag-cybersecurity-and-infrastructure-security-agency","tag-eric-goldstein","tag-george-stathakopoulos","tag-strengthening-american-cybersecurity-act"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19420\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
