Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber & Emerging Tech Anne Neuberger said at @CFR_org that the Biden administration will launch an effort to secure control systems across the country "because of the significant consequences if they fail, or if they're degraded"
Neuberger: "We picked control systems because those are the systems that control water systems, power systems, chemical systems across the US, and we're seeking to have visibility on those networks to detect anomalous cyber behavior and block anomalous cyber behavior." (cont'd)
Neuberger: "Today we cannot trust those systems, because we don't have visibility into those systems, and we need the visibility of those systems because of the significant consequences if they fail, or if they're degraded."
Of the forthcoming/long-awaited cyber EO, Neuberger said it would out in the "coming weeks" and be crafted to A) "add visibility" and B) set "particular standards" for software that is highest risk + require specific security practices
On adversaries exploiting legal "blind spots" by using US infrastructure for attacks, Neuberger said US would use existing authorities "to the max" + think about "refined" public-private info sharing + "augment" requirements for private sector to find & evict malicious activity
