Deputy national security adviser for cyber Anne Neuberger is giving an update now on the Solarwinds hack. Says actor "likely of Russian origin" was responsible.
Next steps:
Finding and expelling adversary: coordinating interagency response from NSC, and coordinating with Congress
Building back better to modernize federal defenses: need more integrated response, upcoming executive action to address gaps
Potential response options

9 federal agencies and about 100 companies were compromised in the breach, which likely took perpetrators months to plan, Neuberger says
Neuberger says this is just the beginning of the USG's understanding of the scope and scale of the hack due to the sophistication of the techniques used, and says they have not ruled out potential additional activity beyond 9 agencies & 100 companies targeted.
