  • President Joe Biden issued an executive order Thursday aimed at strengthening the nation's cybersecurity and making it easier to go after foreign adversaries or hacking groups that try to compromise U.

President Joe Biden has issued a new executive order aimed at enhancing the cybersecurity of U.S. ports, which are critical to the nation's economy and security. This order expands the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) authority to address cyber threats at these facilities, mandating that maritime infrastructure operators meet specific cybersecurity standards. It also establishes a new federal cyber incident reporting requirement for port operators to ensure timely response to cyber incidents. Additionally, the order seeks to improve the cybersecurity of cranes, many of which are manufactured in China, by promoting domestic production and reducing reliance on potentially vulnerable foreign technology. This initiative is part of a broader effort to protect national infrastructure from cyberattacks, reflecting the administration's recognition of the growing threat posed by cyber adversaries.
