Description
Five months ago, the Administration took bold steps to improve the nation’s cybersecurity and protect federal government networks from sophisticated, malicious cyber activity from both nation-state actors and cyber criminals. Modernizing national cybersecurity defenses has never been more critical. The executive order followed cyberattacks that were a sobering reminder of the vulnerability and the impact of these attacks.
