Despite a rocky road to its final passage, President Biden recently signed the $1 trillion infrastructure bill, a much-needed measure to address the nation’s critical need to improve cybersecurity. The new law allocates a whopping $2 billion to fund cybersecurity and related provisions designed to bolster security resiliency—in both public and private sectors—and better safeguard communities against the fallout of cyberattacks.
This historic allocation marks the largest investment in the resilience of digital systems in American history, according to the White House, it passed to “make our communities safer and our infrastructure more resilient” to the looming threat and growing impact of cyberattacks.
