Mar. 2—Today there is the release of President Biden's National Cybersecurity Strategy. You can read the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) news release below.
Then there is this summary from Axios, Biden administration releases national cybersecurity strategy In this article they call out that nothing is going to change overnight. It is a "strategy" after all, which will require numerous points of implementation. A big role in that will be the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
One other note from reading other articles. One piece of the strategy is shifting more responsibility to the software developers to lock down their systems and prevent cyber intrusions.
Here's the DHS news relase:
* Empowering the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to bolster its work to defend Federal Civilian Executive Branch systems and modernize our networks;
* Calling for Congress to pass legislation to codify DHS's Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), a public-private partnership through which cyber leaders from the federal government and private sector conduct fact-finding and issue recommendations in the wake of significant cyber incidents;
* Committing to further disrupting ransomware actors, including through investigations by the US Secret Service and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and CISA's work as co-chair of the Joint Ransomware Task Force to increase the resilience of our critical infrastructure from these attacks;
* Underscoring the value of operational public-private sector collaboration and the successes of targeted and calibrated regulatory approaches like those that the Transportation Security Administration and US Coast Guard are planning to leverage to protect the transportation sector; and
* Identifying CISA to lead the update to the National Cyber Incident Response Plan, which will provide clarity across the Federal incident response landscape.
