A draft of a new executive order on cybersecurity hints at new organizational changes and legal authorities aimed at strengthening civilian agency networks’ cybersecurity capabilities.
The draft order, published by the Washington Post on Jan. 26, tells federal agencies to begin a review of the most pressing cybersecurity issues. It also calls on the Department of Homeland Security to report on “enhanced protections” for the most critical federal government, public and private infrastructure within 60 days.
