CISA Urges Endpoint Management System Hardening After Cyberattack Against US Organization
Mar 18, 2026
CISA is aware of malicious cyber activity targeting endpoint management systems of U.S. organizations based on the March 11, 2026 cyberattack against U.S.-based medical technology firm Stryker Corporation, which affected their Microsoft environment.1 To defend against similar malicious cyber activity, CISA urges organizations to harden endpoint management system configurations using the recommendations and resources provided in this alert. CISA is conducting enhanced coordination with federal partners, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), to identify additional threats and determine mitigation actions. To defend against similar malicious activity that misuses legitimate endpoint management software, CISA urges organizations to implement Microsoft’s newly released best practices for securing Microsoft Intune; the principles of these recommendations can be applied to Intune and more broadly to other endpoint management software: Use principles of least privilege when designing administrative roles. Leverage Microsoft Intune’s role-based access control (RBAC) to assign the minimum permissions necessary to each role for completing day-to-day operations—permissions include what actions the role can take, and what users and devices it can apply that action to. Enforce phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) and privileged access hygiene. Use Microsoft Entra ID capabilities (including Conditional Access, MFA, risk signals, and privileged access controls) to block unauthorized access to privileged actions in Microsoft Intune. Configure access policies to require Multi Admin Approval in Microsoft Intune. Set up policies that require a second administrative account’s approval to allow changes to sensitive or high-impact actions (such as device wiping), applications, scripts, RBAC, configurations, etc. Additionally, CISA recommends reviewing the following resources to strengthen defenses against similar malicious cyber activity: Microsoft resources: For recommendations on securing Microsoft Intune, see Best practices for securing Microsoft Intune. For guidance on implementing Multi Admin Approval in Microsoft Intune, see Use Access policies to implement Multi Admin Approval. For recommendations on configuring Microsoft Intune using zero trust principles, see Configure Microsoft Intune for increased security. For guidance on implementing Microsoft Intune RBAC policies, see Role-based access control (RBAC) with Microsoft Intune. For guidance on deploying Privileged Identity Management (PIM) across Microsoft Intune, Entra ID, and other Microsoft software, see Plan a Privileged Identity Management deployment. CISA resources: For guidance on implementing phishing-resistant multifactor authentication (MFA), see Implementing Phishing-Resistant MFA.

Poland Energy Sector Cyber Incident Highlights OT and ICS Security Gaps
Feb 10, 2026
The purpose of this Alert is to amplify Poland’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT Polska’s) Energy Sector Incident Report published on Jan. 30, 2026, and highlight key mitigations for Energy Sector stakeholders. In December 2025, a malicious cyber actor(s) targeted and compromised operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) in Poland’s Energy Sector—specifically renewable energy plants, a combined heat and power plant, and a manufacturing sector company—in a cyber incident. The malicious cyber activity highlights the need for critical infrastructure entities with vulnerable edge devices to act now to strengthen their cybersecurity posture against cyber threat activities targeting OT and ICS. A malicious cyber actor(s) gained initial access in this incident through vulnerable internet-facing edge devices, subsequently deploying wiper malware and causing damage to remote terminal units (RTUs). The malicious cyber activity caused loss of view and control between facilities and distribution system operators, destroyed data on human machine interfaces (HMIs), and corrupted system firmware on OT devices. While the affected renewable energy systems continued production, the system operator could not control or monitor them according to their intended design.1 CERT Polska’s incident report highlights: Vulnerable edge devices remain a prime target for threat actors. As indicated by CISA’s Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-02: Mitigating Risk From End-of-Support Edge Devices, end-of-support edge devices pose significant risks. OT devices without firmware verification can be permanently damaged. Operators should prioritize updates that allow firmware verification when available; if updates are not immediately feasible, ensure that cyber incident response plans account for inoperative OT devices to mitigate prolonged outages. Threat actors leveraged default credentials, a vulnerability not limited to specific vendors, to pivot onto the HMI and RTUs. Operators should immediately change default passwords and establish requirements for integrators or OT suppliers to enforce password changes in the future. CISA and the Department of Energy’s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (DOE CESER) urge OT asset owners and operators to review the following resources for more information about the malicious activity and mitigations: CERT Polska’s Energy Sector Incident Report - 29 December 2025. CISA’s joint fact sheet with FBI, EPA, and DOE Primary Mitigations to Reduce Cyber Threats to Operational Technology. DOE’s Energy Threat Analysis Center’s threat advisories.
