US President Joe Biden recently signed an executive order (EO) aimed at strengthening network security for US federal government departments, and agencies and contractors working with them.

Although directed at the US, the EO is likely to wield a sizable influence on a global scale: fortifying critical infrastructure, hindering malicious activity, compelling technology suppliers to step up their security game, and introducing a more regimented approach to incident response.
