The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency announced on Monday a pilot program that aims to identify known vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure networks that ransomware operators commonly use to infect systems and extort victims.

The Ransomware Vulnerability Warning Pilot (RVWP) warns critical infrastructure owners and operators that their vulnerable systems could be exploited and is a requirement from the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022. The program started Jan. 30 and has already notified 93 organizations with the “ProxyNotShell” vulnerability on their Microsoft Exchange Service devices.
