Today, we welcome the 44th government onboarded to Have I Been Pwned’s free gov service: The Bahamas. The National Computer Incident Response Team of The Bahamas, CIRT-BS, now has access to monitor government domains against the data in HIBP. As the national CIRT, CIRT-BS is responsible for coordinating and supporting cybersecurity-related matters across the country, and this access will help them prevent, identify, and mitigate incidents involving compromised credentials and data exposure affecting government entities and critical stakeholders.
This is precisely the sort of use case the HIBP government service was designed for: giving national cybersecurity teams the ability to identify exposure across their own digital ecosystem, respond quickly when government accounts appear in breaches, and reduce the risk posed by reused or compromised credentials before attackers can take advantage.
CIRT-BS joins a growing list of national cybersecurity teams using HIBP to help protect government departments, public resources, critical stakeholders, and the people who keep them running.
