The Biden Administration plans to release a national strategy that will introduce comprehensive cybersecurity regulation of the US’s critical infrastructure, acknowledging that voluntary efforts have not been sufficient in protecting against cyberattacks. Officials have stated that the new strategy will include expanded requirements for private companies operating in critical sectors. This marks the first time that the government has called for such regulation.
“…It even calls for shifting liability ‘onto those entities that fail to take reasonable precautions to secure their software’ while recognizing that even the most advanced software security programs cannot prevent all vulnerabilities.”
