On January 16, 2025, the Biden administration released the capstone Executive Order “Strengthening and Promoting Innovation in the Nation’s Cybersecurity.” In this bonus episode of TechnologIST Talks, Chief Strategy Officer Megan Stifel and Chief Trust Officer Steve Kelly are joined by Carole House, Special Advisor for Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Policy at the National Security Council and a member of the office responsible for leading the drafting of the EO. Megan, Steve, and Carole walk through the main components of the order, talking about its implications for federal systems security, quantum, efforts to tackle cybercrime and fraud, and more. “This administration is…recognizing that we need to drive really, really critical momentum, and steps to continue to address key critical vulnerabilities and cyber hygiene that are the root cause and at the heart of so many of the major cyber incidents,” Carole said. What prompted the drafting and release of this Executive Order? How does the EO address ransomware? And what should government–and industry–take away from its provisions?
