The Biden administration today released its 2023 National Cybersecurity Strategy. We note 3 key priorities from the strategy that have the potential to directly affect our work.

In 2022, cybersecurity took center stage. Three prominent developments stand out: first, cyber threats are multiplying, drawing increasing attention from professionals across multiple economic sectors; second, assumptions about the benefits of technology-driven transparency seem increasingly tenuous; and third, a growing consensus about the range of cyber threats is breathing new life into efforts at cyber capacity building. 

In the 6 months since the publication of the Ransomware Task Force (RTF) Progress Report this May, we have seen a great deal of action to combat ransomware, but we have also seen the scale of the threat continue to grow, even as stakeholders continue to focus on it.
