Center for Cybersecurity Policy and Law’s Post

The Biden White House’s anticipated #Cyber Executive Order is finally out and it tries to cement many of the priorities from the last four years while also focusing on initiatives to stop emerging threats. In a new blog post, Luke O'Grady breaks down what the EO says and its potential fate in the new Trump Administration: "National Security Council staff have been briefing the incoming team on the merits of this new EO...However, its future is still uncertain, especially given the incoming administration’s recent threats to revoke a number of other Biden Administration EOs."

Thoughtful insights from the Center for Cybersecurity Policy and Law on the Executive Order released this morning. Notable to see Secretary of Defense directed to conduct a pilot aimed at leveraging #AI for cyber defense in the energy sector. “This pilot program, and accompanying assessment, may include vulnerability detection, automatic patch management, and the identification and categorization of anomalous and malicious activity across information technology (IT) or operational technology systems.” Harnessing #AI to boost resilience and security of critical IT systems that operate and manage our nation’s energy grid is an important idea that should not be lost in the weeks and months ahead. Fostering and leveraging technology advancements in identifying anomalies, detecting vulnerabilities, and applying patches should certainly be a priority for the incoming Administration.
