The ads from the groups Future Forward USA Action, Climate Power and Way to Win Action Fund, first shared with The Associated Press, aim to sell voters on Biden’s efforts to lower the cost of prescription drugs, create clean energy jobs, and support the middle class as inflation takes a bite out of their take-home pay. “This strategy is a major step in our efforts to build a defensible and coherent approach to our federal cyber defenses,” National Cyber Director Chris Inglis said in a statement.WASHINGTON (AP) - Three progressive groups are spending more than $20 million in a new national ad campaign to promote President Joe Biden’s record as he begins his 2024 reelection race. It’s also an effort to set cybersecurity policy around goals and outcomes, rather than checklists. One of the more demanding parts of the strategy is a requirement that agencies have a “complete inventory” of every electronic device on their networks. Continuous security checks are needed to ensure that hackers aren’t impersonating someone, and systems should be isolated when possible to keep malicious code from spreading. “Zero trust” dictates that no computer user or system inside or outside an organization is inherently trusted. The strategy seeks to apply a cybersecurity concept known as “zero trust,” which is popular at big corporations, to the federal government. The strategy, which will be released by the Office of Management and Budget, was born out of a cybersecurity executive order that President Joe Biden signed last May in the wake of the breaches to federal networks and a ransomware attack on a major US pipeline operator. The hackers tampered with software made by federal contractor SolarWinds, among other tools, to sneak onto the unclassified networks of the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security and others.īiden signs memo to boost spy agencies' cyber defenses The overhaul was inspired in part by a 2020 spying campaign by alleged Russian hackers that infiltrated several US agencies and went undetected for months, leaving US officials frustrated at their blind spots. The strategy gives agencies until the end of the 2024 fiscal year to meet these benchmarks and others. Under the strategy, federal employees will need to sign on to agency networks using multiple layers of security and agencies will have to do a better job of protecting their internal network traffic from hackers. It’s one of the biggest efforts yet by the Biden administration to secure the computer networks that the government relies on to do business. ![]() The White House plans to release an ambitious strategy Wednesday to make federal agencies tighten their cybersecurity controls after a series of high-profile hacks against government and private infrastructure in the last two years, according to a copy shared with CNN.
