Cybersecurity: Russian/Ukrainian crisis

Over the past several weeks, the tensions between Russia and Ukraine have escalated to a crisis. The U.S. Postal Service® remains vigilant, monitoring its’ network to secure its critical assets, operations, and data. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has advised that “every organization—large and small—must be prepared to respond to disruptive cyber activity.”  At the Postal Service, we rely on many organizations to provide services and resources to support mission critical functions. It is imperative that our vendors, suppliers, and business partners remain diligent. The Postal Service’s Corporate Information Security Office (CISO) encourages every USPS division, business unit, and external organization to follow CISA’s guidance and strengthen their security posture to protect their most critical assets. CISA’s Shields Up website offers some best practices and strategies to reduce the likelihood of a cyberattack, quickly identify potential intrusions, and
respond efficiently if an intrusion does occur. Additionally, CISA publishes alerts to provide timely information on security issues, vulnerabilities, and exploits, which CISO highly encourages all organizations to reference.

As a reminder, if your organization is impacted by a cyber event or incident, or if there are changes to your operational environment that could impact Postal Service information, information resources, or the services you provide to the Postal Service, please notify the USPS CISO Cybersecurity Operations Center at CyberSafe@usps.gov, or by calling 866-877-7247.
