After several months of significant attacks on critical infrastructure a new executive order was released yesterday with the focus on improving cybersecurity for the nation. The ‘Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity’ includes 9 main sections with specific guidance and timelines on the next steps towards more secure and resilient systems for the US.
