In a significant move to enhance national cybersecurity, the Biden administration has launched a wide-ranging executive order aimed at strengthening federal cyber defenses. This new directive addresses the growing threats posed by cyberattackers, particularly from China, and includes measures to improve digital identity protection and software supply chain security. It directs federal agencies to adopt tougher cybersecurity standards, invest in artificial intelligence for defense purposes, and make use of federal purchasing power to bolster overall security frameworks. The order comes in response to escalating cyber threats and aims to ensure a more robust and secure digital infrastructure as the administration prepares for potential transitions.
