A new public-private body within the Department of Homeland Security has said all it plans to say on the incident referred to as “SolarWinds,” under an executive order mandate. That order came in response to the intrusion event’s compromise of several federal agencies and high-profile tech companies.
“We have fully complied with the executive order,” said Rob Silvers, undersecretary for policy at DHS. “The White House and the Department of Homeland Security together determined that when the board was launched, that at that point in time, the best use of the board’s expertise and resources was to examine the recent events involved in the Log4j vulnerability.”
