Biden signs new memo to boost security of US critical infrastructure

Third teenager charged with second-degree murder | SaltWire #newsupdate #news #halifax #policeWASHINGTON - President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed a new national security memorandum to boost the resilience of U.S. critical infrastructure, replacing a decade-old policy.

Concerns have been rising about the security of U.S. critical infrastructure like utilities, power plants, aviation, rail, mass transit, highway, maritime, pipeline, water and sewage organizations. In February, U.S. agencies said an advanced group of Chinese hackers taking aim at U.S. critical infrastructure have been active for as long as half a decade.

The widespread nature of the hacks has led to a series of meetings between the White House and private technology industry, including several telecommunications and cloud commuting companies, in which the U.S. government asked for assistance in tracking the activity.
