As discussed in a post from earlier this week, President Joseph Biden issued an executive order on May 12, 2021 to improve the nation’s cybersecurity. The White House has put its proverbial money where its mouth is by proposing a $58.4 billion information technology spending plan that includes $9.8 billion specifically earmarked for civilian government cybersecurity measures as well as an expedited push towards SaaS and cloud services solutions. The proposed cybersecurity spending reflects a concerted effort by the Biden-Harris administration to combat ever increasing cyberattacks from foreign governments and other criminal actors that have adversely impacted the nation. Last month, a ransomware attack against a major oil pipeline cut off gasoline supply throughout the East Coast of the United States. More recently, this past weekend the largest beef producer in the United States suffered a ransomware attack that closed all of its facilities within the United States.
