The article from ProPublica discusses President Joe Biden's executive order aimed at enhancing the cybersecurity of federal networks in response to significant cyberattacks like the SolarWinds hack, which was attributed to Russian hackers, and a ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline by a group believed to be from Eastern Europe. The order mandates that software companies must meet certain cybersecurity standards before selling products to the government, introduces measures to improve information sharing about cyber threats, and requires the use of multi-factor authentication and encryption for data at rest and in transit. It also seeks to modernize federal IT systems, which are often outdated and vulnerable, and to shift liability to software vendors for insecure products. This executive action comes in the wake of criticisms regarding the government's slow response to cyber threats and aims to set a new standard for cybersecurity practices across both government and private sectors.
