The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently released its "Fiscal Year 2023 Risk and Vulnerability Assessments" report, shedding light on the persistent cyber threats facing critical infrastructure organizations. The report's findings highlight the alarming reality that many organizations, regardless of sector, remain susceptible to common attack techniques, often resulting in significant breaches.

Key Takeaways from the CISA Report:

  • Valid Accounts: The report emphasizes the exploitation of valid accounts as the most prevalent technique across various attack stages, underscoring the critical need for robust identity and access management practices.

  • Common Vulnerabilities: The report reveals that attackers frequently exploit common vulnerabilities stemming from misconfigurations and inadequate security-by-design principles, emphasizing the importance of proactive vulnerability management and secure configuration practices.

  • Attack Path Analysis: The report details a sample attack path, demonstrating how threat actors can leverage common vulnerabilities to compromise an organization's network. This highlights the necessity of understanding and mitigating potential attack vectors.
