Nowadays, it seems like malicious hacking events are happening every day – so it’s not surprising that more businesses and even our federal government are taking steps to prevent and address cybersecurity issues. President Biden in May of 2021 put out an Executive Order outlining what the federal government response will be when it comes to cybersecurity events, protection, detection, response, and investigation.

You can read the full order here.

Although this will not apply to private businesses (unless you contract with the federal government) this will most likely set a precedent for future standards.

Addressing your organization’s cybersecurity weaknesses should not be a reaction to a bad event, but a proactive choice to prevent the worst from happening. Choose a managed IT provider to help you formulate a plan that works best for your business. Contact us today!
