WASHINGTON DC – How will the U.S. government move forward on cybersecurity? Who will do what to implement this new cyber road map? When will these projects be completed?

These questions and more are addressed in the new White House National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan, which was released on July 13, 2023.

A fact sheet on the topic offered the headline “Biden-⁠Harris Administration Publishes the National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan” and said:

“President Biden has made clear that all Americans deserve the full benefits and potential of our digital future. The Biden-Harris Administration’s recently released National Cybersecurity Strategy calls for two fundamental shifts in how the United States allocates roles, responsibilities, and resources in cyberspace:

  1. Ensuring that the biggest, most capable and best-positioned entities — in the public and private sectors — assume a greater share of the burden for mitigating cyber risk
  2. Increasing incentives to favor long-term investments into cybersecurity

“Today, the Administration is announcing a road map to realize this bold, affirmative vision. It is taking the novel step of publishing the National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan (NCSIP) to ensure transparency and a continued path for coordination. This plan details more than 65 high-impact federal initiatives, from protecting American jobs by combatting cyber crimes to building a skilled cyber workforce equipped to excel in our increasingly digital economy.”
