AppSec Decoded: Why Biden’s executive order should be on your radar

In this episode of AppSec Decoded, we discuss how Biden’s executive order differs from prior orders and why we need to pay close attention to it.

Biden’s executive order (EO), announced earlier this spring, outlines cyber security standards and best practices that will apply to federal departments, agencies, and their technology suppliers. In earlier episodes of AppSec Decoded, we reviewed the new requirements outlined in the EO and discussed the cyber security measures for technology buyers and suppliers.

Although the EO’s goal is to secure the U.S. government, implications are expected to be broader and could be adopted by the commercial sector. We spoke with Tim Mackey, principal security strategist at Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC), to learn how Biden’s EO differs from prior EOs and why it should be on everyone’s radar.
