The U.S. Cybersecurity Revolution: Are We Ready A New Dawn in Cyber Defense: Understanding Executive Order 14144
The recent executive order from the White House has sent ripples through the cybersecurity community, marking what may be the most decisive shift in the nation's approach to cyber defense in recent history. The order demands the establishment of AI programs for cyber defense, mandates post-quantum security readiness, and insists on upgrades to hardware security modules and trusted execution environments. The implications of the executive order extend far beyond government networks. Read the blog by our founder and CEO, Anand Kashyap, to learn how to take a proactive stance to ensure that AI serves as a shield rather than a vulnerability.
