FBI Cyber Division @FBICyberDiv - If you don’t map your internet-facing systems, the adversary will.
Unnecessary exposure creates entry points for attackers. The #FBI encourages your organization to keep a concise list of internet-facing systems and their owners, remove anything that doesn’t need to be public, require authenticated gateways for what remains, disable direct internet-facing remote desktop, and regularly scan your public IP space to catch new exposures early.
This guidance—one of Operation Winter SHIELD’s 10 Key Defenses—applies to an expanding range of industries and systems. For example, operational technology (OT) systems that were once isolated are now more interconnected than ever, delivering efficiency and real-time visibility while also increasing cyber risks.
That’s why the FBI and our partners recently released a guide to designing, securing, and managing connectivity in OT. Follow the mitigations outlined at

FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash - Great visit with the Milan Joint Operations Center, a 24/7 interagency operation with international partners to support the Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games. The JOC is focused on protecting the US athletes, 250,000 US citizens who traveled to Milan for the games, as well as the private sector companies we share information with every day.
Nearly 100 US Government personnel have been surged to support the Olympics since the start of 2026 - with lessons we’ll take into the FIFA World Cup later this summer.
Thank you to Consul General Benning and the entire US Consulate Milan team for hosting - as well as DSS, FBI CIRG, and President Trump’s interagency teams for working around the clock to secure this incredible event
