The order is designed to strengthen America's digital foundations and also put the new administration and the country on a path to continued success, Anne Neuberger, Biden's deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technology, said.
The core of the executive order is an array of mandates for protecting government networks based on lessons learned from recent major incidents, specifically the security failures of federal contractors.
The executive order will promote the use of digital identities for US citizens and create a framework for harnessing the security benefits of artificial intelligence, aiming to close gaps exploited by adversaries.
Under the order, software vendors must provide proof they adhere to secure development practices, with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency tasked with verifying these security attestations.
