New National Cyber Strategy Asks ‘More’ from Industry and Government – By Alexandra Kelley (Nextgov) / Mar 2,2023
The new National Cyber Security Strategy focuses on more international partnerships, enhanced baseline regulations and stronger cyberthreat policing.
The federal government aims to fortify the country’s cybersecurity posture across critical infrastructures, outlining its chief policy objectives in the Biden administration’s first National Cybersecurity Strategy expected to be released Thursday.
Previewed in a press call Wednesday, senior administration officials discussed the White House’s goals to protect U.S digital networks from malicious cyberattacks and ransomware. A major feature of the strategy is raising the minimum requirements for all critical sectors to reduce security risks and harmonize compliance.
Years of escalating severe cyberattacks against U.S. and global private and public digital networks over the last two years prompted objectives in the framework.
