President Biden says cybersecurity risk is still elevated following multiple attacks.
Executive order 13694, which declares a state of national emergency in the United States due to an elevated risk of cyberattacks, has been extended for another year. US President Joe Biden said that the threat, from persons and organizations outside the country, is still very much present. „Significant malicious cyber-enabled activities originating from, or directed by persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States,“ the President said in a statement. „Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13694 with respect to significant malicious cyber-enabled activities.
