DHS Announces Successful Completion of Simulated Cyberattack

The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced the successful completion of a biannual simulated cyberattack aimed at preparing the U.S. and its partners to defend against a real attack on critical systems. The three-day exercise, known as “Cyber Storm,” involved 2,000 participants from the fields of private industry, the federal government and international groups, and was described by CISA as the most extensive cybersecurity exercise in the United States.
