US moves to protect better infrastructure than cyber threats

WASHINGTON: Biden Administration is eyeing ways to harden the Cybersecurity defense for critical infrastructure, announce Wednesday’s development of performance goals and voluntary public-private partnerships to protect the core sectors.
The action, described in a command signed by President Joe Biden, is the recognition of the Cybersecurity vulnerability of the critical industries – the reality clarified by the hack of the country’s largest pipe, which produces around 45% of the fuel consumed on the east coast.
But they are also intended to overcome the “patchwork patchwork specific sector” that has been adopted little by little from time to time and who left the government without a uniform or adequate cybersecurity threshold, according to a senior administrative official who gave an official announcement before the official announcement.
, The partnership was launched as a pilot program in April with an electrical utility, and additional alliances with other sectors will be formed this year.
Appearing when federal officials have promoted larger Siber security resilience among private companies, including announcing new requirements and protection for past weeks of pipelines.
This partnership is voluntary, although administration has not ruled out the possibility of mandatory requirements in the future, the official said.
But the lack of law, the official said, “There is no comprehensive way to request the spread of security technology and practices that overcome, really, the environment of the threat we face.” In addition, the command Wednesday will direct the department of domestic and trade security to develop Cybersecurity performance goals for critical infrastructure.
