Cybersecurity has been a priority since President Joe Biden took office in the wake of the SolarWinds compromise, while protecting critical infrastructure from cybersecurity threats quickly became a top national security issue when a series of damaging ransomware attacks against Colonial Pipeline, foodmaker JBS and IT provider Kaseya caused substantial disruption to American society in 2021. Since then, the administration has stepped up cooperation with the private sector, and worked to leverage new and existing regulatory authorities to expand visibility over cyberattacks affecting different industries, while tightening cybersecurity protocols and protections within targeted sectors, from companies who manage our water systems and move our oil and gas to industries that transport people and goods via rail and flight.
