It is the policy of my Administration that the prevention, detection, assessment, and remediation of cyber incidents is a top priority and essential to national and economic security. The scope of protection and security must include systems that process data (information technology (IT)) and those that run the vital machinery that ensures our safety (operational technology (OT)). The Federal Government must bring to bear the full scope of its authorities and resources to protect and secure its computer systems, whether they are cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid. Incremental improvements will not give us the security we need instead, the Federal Government needs to make bold changes and significant investments in order to defend the vital institutions that underpin the American way of life. In the end, the trust we place in our digital infrastructure should be proportional to how trustworthy and transparent that infrastructure is, and to the consequences we will incur if that trust is misplaced.

The private sector must adapt to the continuously changing threat environment, ensure its products are built and operate securely, and partner with the Federal Government to foster a more secure cyberspace. Protecting our Nation from malicious cyber actors requires the Federal Government to partner with the private sector. But cybersecurity requires more than government action. The Federal Government must also carefully examine what occurred during any major cyber incident and apply lessons learned. The Federal Government must improve its efforts to identify, deter, protect against, detect, and respond to these actions and actors. The United States faces persistent and increasingly sophisticated malicious cyber campaigns that threaten the public sector, the private sector, and ultimately the American people’s security and privacy.
