My TechDecisions Episode 131: Biden’s Executive Order On Cybersecurity
On this episode of the My TechDecisions Podcast, we speak with Om Moolchandani, Co-founder, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Security Officer at Accurics, a cloud cyber resilience company, about President Joe Biden’s executive order on cybersecurity.
Biden signed the order in May to modernize federal cybersecurity and implement concepts like Zero Trust and multi-factor authentication, as well as eliminate barriers to sharing information about cyberattacks. For software sold to the government, the order mandates the creation of baseline security standards, including making security data public and maintaining greater visibility. This part of the order also creates a pilot program that will affix some kind of certification to software so the government and other users will know that the product is secure.
Read the full text of the executive order, or the White House’s fact sheet on the mandate.
