Official alerts show how cyber incidents on operational technology can quickly disrupt physical operations and critical supply chains. Clear coordination of people, alerts, tasks and real-time visibility helps organisations contain impact and protect inventory and safety.
Malicious cyber actors are targeting industrial refrigeration & cold chain monitoring systems. Our joint Fact Sheet with federal partners outlines key steps orgs can take to reduce risks to inventory, equipment, and operations. Read more 👉 go.dhs.gov/59J
ALT The image shows a digital illustration of a shield symbol against a background of circuitry, representing cybersecurity. On the right are logos of CISA, FBI, USDA, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Transportation. The text reads: "Joint Fact Sheet. US Government Partners Urge Hardening Industrial Refrigeration and Cold Chain Monitoring Systems."
The incident is over. Can you prove what happened?
Who received the alert? Why was that decision made? What can you learn?
For the public sector, accountability matters long after the incident ends.

Sent doesn't mean received.
When an #EmergencyAlert goes out, can you prove who acknowledged it, when they responded, and who still needs follow-up?
A delivery report only tells part of the story.
How does your organisation track acknowledgements?
#IncidentManagement
Our latest blog looks at why delivery reports aren't enough and what emergency planning teams need to keep a clear, reliable record of who was warned.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the severe weather and flooding. Conditions can change quickly, and knowing who is safe, what still needs doing, and how to reach people makes a real difference when teams are under pressure.
The State of Colorado requested and is sending Colorado Task Force 1 to support swift water rescue operations for Southwest Colorado Flooding.
Thank you @cotaskforce1
Tomorrow is Halloween. 🎃
An outdated contact list, a missing crisis plan and an unanswered emergency alert. Now THAT'S scary.
Don't let poor preparedness haunt your organisation.
Happy Halloween from Crises Control! 👻

Sector exercises that rehearse global cloud outages highlight how quickly coordination and communications become critical. Organisations that maintain clear visibility of people, tasks and status can respond more effectively when disruptions hit.
38 banks and financial infrastructure operators rehearsed a global cloud outage in SIMEX26.
Could your business continue if its cloud services went down? Contact CiContinuity to review your continuity plan and arrange a rehearsal:

An outage took 60 minutes to fix. Communicating the return to business as usual took three hours.
With Crises Control, one customer reduced that to 66 minutes, saving 114 minutes.
How quickly could your organisation update everyone?

An up-to-date incident response plan helps organisations isolate issues, communicate clearly and coordinate tasks when critical infrastructure is targeted. Shared visibility across people and actions supports operational resilience.
Nation-state cyber actors are targeting #CriticalInfrastructure. Having an up-to-date incident response plan can help your org quickly and effectively isolate, contain, eradicate, remediate, and communicate incidents. Get started: cisa.gov/cybersecurity-aware…
ALT Image is split with the left side half showing a gradient of blue and red with digital effects and the right half being white. The "Securing the Next 250" logo is in the bottom right corner. There is a blue and red gradient shield with a clipboard with a hazard symbol inside. The text reads "Next step: level up your defenses. Two New Actions for 2026. Have an Incident Response Plan and Use It! CPG 2.0 1.C. Organizations should develop, maintain, update, and regularly exercise IR plans for common threat scenarios such as ransomware attacks. Ensure drills are realistic and include all relevant stakeholders, such as organizational leadership and legal counsel, in addition to technical personnel. IR plans should be reviewed and drilled on an annual basis at minimum". The CISA logo is in the bottom left corner with text that reads "Cybersecurity Awareness Month October 2026".
When manufacturing systems go down, the work doesn't stop. But can your team track every task, deadline and outstanding action?
Clear task ownership helps prevent critical work from slipping through the cracks.
How would your team manage?

Flight disruptions from Cyclone Arnab underline how weather can interrupt critical operations. Organisations with pre-tested communication and task tools keep people informed and recover faster.
Cyclone Arnab brings flight operations to a halt at 3 Andhra Pradesh airports!
Flights suspended at Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Rajahmundry airports.
• Air India: 6 flights cancelled
• Air India Express: 13 flights cancelled
• IndiGo: Operations suspended at affected AP airports
• Akasa Air: Delhi–Bhogapuram return service cancelled
Hyderabad, Bhubaneswar, Varanasi, Prayagraj and Gorakhpur may also face flight delays.
Civil Aviation Ministry advises passengers to confirm flight status before heading to airports.
The production line is ready to restart. But is it safe?
After a cyber incident, restoring systems isn't the same as confirming production can resume safely. Clear ownership and evidence matter.

National crisis committees reviewing cyclone readiness show the value of joined-up coordination. Organisations face the same need for shared visibility of people, communications and critical tasks when weather disrupts operations.
Cabinet Secretary, Dr. T. V. Somanathan chaired a meeting of the National Crisis Management Committee (NCMC) to review preparedness for the impending cyclone in the Bay of Bengal
🔹Director General, India Meteorological Department (IMD) briefed the Committee that the deep depression over East central and adjoining Southeast Bay of Bengal has moved nearly Westwards and intensified into cyclonic storm #ARNAB and lay centered at 0530 hrs IST of today over East central and adjoining West central Bay of Bengal about 590 km Northwest of Sri Vijaya Puram (Andaman Islands) 650 km East-Southeast of Vishakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), 730 km East-Southeast of Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh), 830 km East of Machilipatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and 910 km East of Bapatla (Andhra Pradesh).
🔹It is forecast to move west-northwestwards till 27th October and then northwestwards towards Andhra Pradesh coast. It is likely to cross Andhra Pradesh & Yanam coasts between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam as a very severe cyclonic storm with the maximum sustained wind speed of 115-125 kmph gusting to 140 kmph by forenoon of 28th October, 2026.
🔹Thereafter it is likely to affect districts in Telangana, Southern Odisha, South & Central Chhattisgarh apart from Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

A cyber attack that stopped production for weeks and put hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk. The real test is how quickly teams can align, communicate and restore operations when the unexpected hits.
The cyber-attack that crippled operations at Jaguar Land Rover last year was state-sponsored, says former defence minister Al Carns.
It cost as much as £2.1 billion and put 200,000 jobs in doubt.

Cyber incidents can force facilities offline and push teams onto manual processes within hours. Clear ownership of communications, task tracking and status updates helps organisations keep people safe and critical work moving while systems are restored.
Day 22 of #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
The July 26, 2026 cyber incident at AnMed Health disrupted services across more than 80 facilities.
Cyberattacks don't just steal data; they can disrupt critical operations.
If your systems went down today, could your business continue?
A substation doesn’t fail on schedule.
Sending the alert is the easy part. The next 20 minutes are the test:
— who was reached
— who acknowledged
— which tasks are done, across every site
— what you hand the regulator
Sending an alert is not a response plan.
