Obama Administration Announces Cybersecurity Guidelines


Earlier this month, the Obama administration released its ‘cybersecurity framework’, which is a best practices guide for banking, defense, utilities and other industries to help protect against attacks by hackers. The guidelines were developed after President Obama signed an executive order that called on the Commerce Department to create cybersecurity guidelines. The framework is built around five categories: identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. The Department of Homeland Security has announced that it will start a program to help companies with the implementation of this framework, and recommends companies to take all five categories into consideration when developing cybersecurity guidelines. Major tech groups are rallying behind the framework as it increases awareness of the importance of cybersecurity, especially for big companies that have recently suffered attacks from hackers.
