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

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.

The on-call technician spotting the temperature rise shows how monitoring and rapid human intervention can limit damage in connected operational technology.
For smaller organisations the highest-value steps are usually clarifying decision rights, identifying a few truly critical processes and testing simple recovery actions with the people who will actually perform them, rather than producing lengthy plans that sit unused.
The useful distinction is between a platform reporting as available and the specific capability an organisation needs remaining usable. Mapping those critical functions and testing workarounds for partial outages is often more practical than relying solely on vendor status pages.
A plan that works on paper can still fail when people must prioritise under pressure, adapt roles or communicate with incomplete information. Resilience depends as much on practised decision authority and adaptive capacity as on documented procedures.
Region-wide fridge hacks show how cyber incidents can spoil stock and interrupt retail operations overnight. Coordinated people, communications and tasks give organisations the visibility to contain impact and restore service.

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.

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?

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! 👻

Clear updates and coordinated action across partners help stakeholders understand the impact and adjust their own operations. Transparency supports trust when services are interrupted.
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:

Handling large numbers of diversions shows the value of flexible procedures and coordinated updates. Keeping airlines and ground teams aligned helps maintain network flow during weather and congestion peaks.
Healthcare disruptions of this kind underline why pre-assigned roles and regularly tested downtime procedures matter. Clear channels for staff and partner hospitals help sustain essential care when systems are unavailable.
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".
