In an ambitious step towards improving the Nation’s security posture, President Joe Biden has instituted an Executive Order to improve cyber threat information sharing between the U.S Government and the Private Sector. Section 2 of the Cybersecurity Executive Order requires IT Service Providers (including cloud providers) to liberally share data breach information with government departments and agencies tasked with investigating cyberattack incidents.

As a result, the Federal Government will adopt the following initiatives as an example of best practices for the private sector: To comply with the section 3 standards of the Cybersecurity Executive Order, the private sector must mirror the higher security standards pursued by the Federal Government.

Section 7 of the Cybersecurity Executive Order is an initiative to improve cyber threat activity detection in government and private sector networks.

UpGuard can help government entities and the private sector comply with Section 8 of the Cybersecurity Executive Order by offering a single platform capable of end-to-end cyber threat management, from vulnerability detection through to complete remediation for both the internal and vendor attack surface.
