CSE’s Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (Cyber Centre) joined cyber security partners from the United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK), the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in issuing a joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) relating to an expected increase in malicious cyber activity targeting managed service providers (MSPs).
The CSA includes advice and guidance on what organizations and MSPs should look out for to help mitigate possible compromises should they become a target to malicious cyber threat actors. The Cyber Centre continues to recommend all organizations and MSPs exercise a high degree of vigilance in the cyber landscape and review the information provided in our Cyber Security Considerations for Consumers of Managed Services document, along with the information provided in the CSA.
