DHS CISA Insights:

In light of recent international events with the potential for retaliatory aggression against the U.S. and our critical infrastructure, CISA urges facilities with chemicals of interest (COI)—whether tiered or untiered under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program—to consider enhanced security measures to decrease the likelihood of a successful attack. As noted in the recent National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin, certain offensive cyber operations have been attributed to the Iranian government, which allegedly has targeted a variety of industries and organizations, including financial services, energy, government facilities, chemical, healthcare, critical manufacturing, communications, and the defense industrial base.
