Best Practices for Implementing the White House Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity Infrastructure - White Paper

The White House Executive Order on improving the nation’s cybersecurity infrastructure underscores the importance of protecting the Federal Government’s computer systems. It has led organizations across the nation to review their cybersecurity practices, and it establishes consistent guidelines that they need to implement in the short, mid and long term. Various timelines are noted for the completion of this review and the establishment of updated guidelines. However, within the next two to three months, agencies are already required to take immediate actions aimed at rapidly improving cyber security and modernizing Federal IT architectures.
