Description

On June 6, 2025, President Trump issued a cybersecurity EO titled "Sustaining Select Efforts to Strengthen the Nation's Cybersecurity," along with a corresponding fact sheet. The new EO defines the Trump administration's cyber initiatives and rescinds or modifies portions of previous administrations' EOs while leaving their overall frameworks mostly intact. 

Some of the EO's key initiatives include: rolling back security requirements for federal software providers; advancing secure software development by establishing new transparency and security in third-party supply chains; emphasizing that China is the biggest threat to U.S. cybersecurity and outlining measures where the government will enhance secure technology practices; requiring federal agencies to continue to improve network visibility and strengthen cloud configurations; eliminating digital identity directives; increasing the scale of AI threat detection techniques and automating a cyber defense; and implementing sanctions to combat significant malicious cyber-enabled activities. 

Listen as our authoritative panel discusses the new cybersecurity EO and provides insights on what these mandates mean for clients engaging with the federal government and maintaining cybersecurity protocols.
