  • President Joe Biden on Thursday signed an executive order that is his final stab at shoring up America's cyber defenses after a damaging string of cyberattacks on federal networks that US officials have blamed on Chinese and Russian operatives.

President Joe Biden has issued a new executive order aimed at enhancing the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure in the United States. This directive focuses on strengthening the nation's defenses against cyber threats by mandating stricter cybersecurity standards for federal agencies, private sector companies involved in critical infrastructure, and increasing the sharing of threat information. The order also establishes a Cyber Safety Review Board to investigate significant cyber incidents, introduces measures to protect the software supply chain, and emphasizes the need for better cybersecurity practices in cloud computing environments. Additionally, it seeks to expand the National Cyber Director's role in coordinating these efforts across government and with private sector partners, reflecting a comprehensive approach to tackle the evolving landscape of cyber threats.
