- Free cybernetic tools for the critical infrastructure of the United States. UU. They are no longer available
- The project was initially established after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
- The lack of absorption since then has resulted in the project of the project
A free cybersecurity service established to help protect the critical infrastructure following the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been closed silently.
The critical infrastructure defense project was a pioneer for Cloudflare, Crowdstrike and Ping Identity, and allowed organizations in “vulnerable sectors” to access four months of cyber security services for free, including a zero trust security model to help hospitals and water and energy services to ensure their networks, final points and identities.
The program also offered critical intelligence of threats to cyber security teams that are probably attacked.
The critical protection of the infrastructure closes
A Crowdstrike spokesman explained that the project has closed as its use has been reduced from the initial threat levels experienced since the beginning of 2022.
The services offered by the trio of cybersecurity companies “aligned with an initial threat period and that its use has decreased,” said the spokesman to Nextgov/FCW.
The end of the project could not arrive at a worst time, and the reports suggest that the Trump administration may have stopped efforts to counteract Russian cyber operations, and the warning of NATO Russia is again mapping critical infrastructure, including Internet submarine cables.
When trying to access the critical infrastructure defense project, the website now redirects it to the Cloudflare home page.
After the recent agitation in the Middle East, there is a clear possibility that Iran can increase its cyber operations against the United States.
Iran has previously attacked the critical infrastructure that includes US water treatment plants.
