STRATEGIC WHITEPAPER FROM THE TOC 

Strategic Threat Intelligence: Preparing for the Next “SolarWinds” Event

Whitepaper Download

Health-ISAC, in cooperation with the American Hospital Association, has published Strategic Threat Intelligence: Preparing for the Next “SolarWinds” Event. This report
focuses on the key characteristics contributing to many enterprise network compromises, including the recent SolarWinds Orion incident.

The paper is meant for all audiences, non-technical and technical, as it presents strategic level decision elements that senior leaders including C-Suite Executives can use to help understand the risks involved with certain enterprise IT systems in their network environment.  The intelligence also provides detailed technical analysis and recommendations for IT and information security teams to help address immediate concerns by providing tactical mitigations and recommendations. For our technical audience, this paper presents a detailed analysis of characteristics that allowed the SolarWinds incident to affect multiple industries, organizations, and systems.

The ability to extract the characteristics and features of SolarWinds could allow organizations to predict and hopefully prevent the next “SolarWinds”-like event in their enterprise environments.
