President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Wednesday to improve national cybersecurity in an effort to combat future cyberattacks. The order follows the SolarWinds and Microsoft Exchange cyberattacks impacting federal agencies as well as the recent Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack that caused states of emergency in several states.

Last week, a hacker was able to breach the computer system of the water treatment facility in Oldsmar, Florida. The attack was detected before it affected the population. Initial reports indicate the hacker or hackers attempted to add dangerous levels of sodium hydroxide to the water supply using the plant’s remote access software. Cyber experts have warned that the attack highlights cyber infrastructure vulnerabilities.
