Broadband Breakfast on Wednesday, August 25, 2021, 12 Noon ET — Cybersecurity: Reviewing the Biden Administration’s Executive Order
The Executive Order may lead to sweeping changes in the way private companies report and share data regarding cyberbreaches.
On May 12, 2021, the White House announced President Joe Biden’s executive order that instituted sweeping changes to the way the private companies must report and share data regarding breaches and their overall security. These changes were announced on the same day that the Colonial Pipeline resumed operations in the wake of the ransomware attack that left it out of commission for almost a week, resulting in a spike in gas prices and turmoil about and down the east coast as consumers panic-purchased gas.
Ransomware is only one such example of the myriad cybersecurity threats facing both the private and public sector in 2021. Join us on August 25, 2021, to discuss what this executive order means for both public and private sectors in the technology industry at large.
