President Biden's executive order on cybersecurity focuses on establishing stringent standards for government contractors, enhancing the ability to sanction foreign hackers and protect critical infrastructure.
The order empowers federal agencies to develop minimum cybersecurity standards, ensuring that technology contractors provide proof of compliance, ultimately aiming to deter foreign cyber threats.
With the rise of powerful quantum computers, the executive order mandates that government agencies bolster cybersecurity measures to prevent adversaries from compromising U.S. systems.
Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger emphasized that the order's objectives of improving cybersecurity and attaching consequences for cyberattacks should be a unifying cause across party lines.
