Cybersecurity Alert Overload is a CEO’s Problem; Here’s How to Fix It
In today's digital landscape, organizations face an unprecedented volume of cybersecurity alerts on a daily basis. While these alerts are crucial for maintaining security, their sheer volume can overwhelm security teams, a phenomenon known as alert fatigue. This issue not only hampers the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures but also poses significant risks to business operations, financial performance, and organizational reputation. As CEOs and CFOs, understanding and addressing this challenge is imperative to safeguard your organization's assets and ensure sustained growth.

CISA Strengthens Commitment to SLTT Governments
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced that it has transitioned to a new model to better equip state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments to strengthen shared responsibility nationwide. CISA is supporting our SLTT partners with access to grant funding, no-cost tools, and cybersecurity expertise to be resilient and lead at the local level.
CISA’s cooperative agreement with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) will reach its planned end on September 30, 2025. This transition reflects CISA’s mission to strengthen accountability, maximize impact, and empower SLTT partners to defend today and secure tomorrow.
Support for SLTTs includes:
- Access to Grant Funding from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), available through CISA in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This funding is provided via the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) and the Tribal Cybersecurity Grant Program (TCGP).
- No-cost services and tools such as Cyber Hygiene scanning and vulnerability management
- Cybersecurity Performance Goals and the Cyber Security Evaluation Tool to prioritize and measure progress
- Regional Cybersecurity Advisors and Cybersecurity Coordinators delivering hands-on, local and virtual expertise
- Professional services including vulnerability assessments and incident response coordination
- Bi-monthly SLTT Security Operations Center calls providing timely cyber defense updates
This initiative reinforces CISA’s role as the nation’s leading cyber defense agency, protecting critical infrastructure, enabling secure communications, and empowering partners on the front lines of America’s cybersecurity.

CISA Adds Five Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog
CISA has added five new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.
- CVE-2021-21311 Adminer Server-Side Request Forgery Vulnerability
- CVE-2025-20352 Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software SNMP Denial of Service and Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
- CVE-2025-10035 Fortra GoAnywhere MFT Deserialization of Untrusted Data Vulnerability
- CVE-2025-59689 Libraesva Email Security Gateway Command Injection Vulnerability
- CVE-2025-32463 Sudo Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere Vulnerability
These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vector for malicious cyber actors and poses significant risks to the federal enterprise.
Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the KEV Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information.
Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.
CISA and UK NCSC Release Joint Guidance for Securing OT Systems
CISA, in collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre, and other international partners has released new joint cybersecurity guidance: Creating and Maintaining a Definitive View of Your Operational Technology (OT) Architecture.
Building on the recent Foundations for OT Cybersecurity: Asset Inventory Guidance for Owners and Operators, this guidance explains how organizations can leverage data sources, such as asset inventories and manufacturer-provided resources like software bill of materials to establish and maintain an accurate, up-to-date view of their OT systems.
A definitive OT record enables organizations to conduct more comprehensive risk assessments, prioritize critical and exposed systems, and implement appropriate security controls. The guidance also addresses managing third-party risks, securing OT information, and designing effective architectural controls.
Key recommendations include:
- Collaborating Across Teams: Foster coordination between OT and IT teams;
- Aligning with Standards: Follow international standards such as IEC 62443 and ISO/IEC 27001.
Organizations are encouraged to use this guidance to strengthen their OT security posture and reduce risks. For additional details, review the full guidance: Creating and Maintaining a Definitive View of Your Operational Technology (OT) Architecture

Cybercriminals Target SonicWall Firewalls to Deploy Akira Ransomware via Malicious Login Attempts
Security teams face a rapidly evolving campaign that abuses compromised SonicWall SSL VPN credentials to deliver Akira ransomware in under four hours—dwell times among the shortest ever recorded for this type of threat. Within minutes of successful authentication—often originating from hosting-related ASNs—threat actors initiated port scans, leveraged Impacket SMB tools for discovery, and deployed the […]
