The Biden administration is finalising a second cybersecurity executive order, building on the 2021 order. The new order, targeting federal agencies, covers AI in cyber defence, secure software transparency, cloud security updates, identity credentialing modernisation, and post-quantum cryptography implementation. It also addresses software bills of materials, open-source cybersecurity, and federal communication security. The order is nearly complete, with a potential early December signing.

The news may indicate a shift in market trends which could affect sales and supply chain strategies.

If the trend continues, it may lead to increased investment in related sectors over the next year.
