CISA’S CSET TOOL SETS SIGHTS ON RANSOMWARE THREAT

Last Revised
June 30, 2021


CISA has released a new module in its Cyber Security Evaluation Tool (CSET): the
Ransomware Readiness Assessment (RRA). CSET is a desktop software tool that
guides network defenders through a step-by-step process to evaluate their
cybersecurity practices on their networks. CSET—applicable to both information
technology (IT) and industrial control system (ICS) networks—enables users to
perform a comprehensive evaluation of their cybersecurity posture using many
recognized government and industry standards and recommendations.

The RRA is a self-assessment based on a tiered set of practices to help
organizations better assess how well they are equipped to defend and recover
from a ransomware incident. CISA has tailored the RRA to varying levels of
ransomware threat readiness to make it useful to all organizations regardless of
their current cybersecurity maturity. The RRA:

 * Helps organizations evaluate their cybersecurity posture, with respect to
   ransomware, against recognized standards and best practice recommendations in
   a systematic, disciplined, and repeatable manner.
 * Guides asset owners and operators through a systematic process to evaluate
   their operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) network
   security practices against the ransomware threat.
 * Provides an analysis dashboard with graphs and tables that present the
   assessment results in both summary and detailed form.

CISA strongly encourages all organizations to take the CSET Ransomware Readiness
Assessment, available at
https://github.com/cisagov/cset/releases/tag/v10.3.0.0(link is external).
