Donald Trump has signed a new executive order to upgrade cyber defences of the US government

Firstpost  

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to bolster the government’s cyber security and protect critical infrastructure from cyber attacks, marking his first significant action to address what he has called a top priority. The order seeks to improve the often-maligned network security of U.S. government agencies, from which foreign governments and other hackers have pilfered millions of personal records and other forms of sensitive data in recent years. White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert said the order sought to build on efforts undertaken by the former Obama administration. “A lot of progress was made in the last administration, but not nearly enough.” Michael Daniel, who served as White House cybersecurity coordinator under former Democratic President Barack Obama, generally praised the order but said it was largely “a plan for a plan.” Trump, a Republican, has also asked agencies to review their federal workforce’s cyber talent, an area where the government has faced a growing shortfall of qualified personnel in recent years.
