In a significant move to bolster national cybersecurity, US President Joe Biden has introduced new governmental requirements focused on enhancing digital defense measures. The executive order, one of his final acts in office, emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing third-party software providers to ensure adherence to cybersecurity standards and the elimination of vulnerabilities, particularly in critical infrastructure. Highlighting the threat posed by China, following recent cyberattacks, the order mandates the use of end-to-end encryption as a default measure for federal communications systems. These efforts build on previous cybersecurity directives and aim to fortify the nation’s digital infrastructure against evolving threats, including the potential challenges posed by quantum computing advancements.
