The White House has released its national cybersecurity strategy, detailing an effort to increase regulation of critical industries by making them adopt basic cybersecurity practices.

The plan also looks to broadly coordinate the government’s many agencies to better defend the country from hackers.

Anne Neuberger, a senior White House national security adviser who specializes in cybersecurity, said in prepared remarks about the strategy: “Americans must be able to have confidence that they can rely on critical services, hospitals, gas pipelines, air water services, even if they are being targeted by our adversaries.”

that software is often written hastily and with security as an afterthought, creating a culture in which engineers are constantly fixing problems as hackers find new ones.“We’d see shifting liability as a long-term process. We’re looking out a decade,” the official said. “We don’t anticipate that this is something where we’re going to see new law on the books within the next year.

The strategy also aims to have the government take a more proactive stance against ransomware hackers who seek extortion payments by encrypting organizations’ computers and threatening to publish their sensitive data. The Treasury Department hasthat ransomware cost Americans $866 million in 2021, the most recent year for which it has published data.
