White House Urges United States Governors to Tighten Oversight of Critical Infrastructure

In a continued effort to bolster our nation's cybersecurity amid Russia's war against Ukraine, President Biden has called on U.S. governors to enhance their readiness to confront potential Russian cyberattacks by "tightening oversight of their states' critical infrastructure, putting their experts on high alert, and developing incident response plans."¹

"Take urgent action to exercise the authority you and your team have to prepare your critical infrastructure to withstand a cyberattack"²

With much of our nation's critical infrastructure privately owned and overseen at the state and local levels, President Biden has urged U.S. governors to take "urgent action to exercise the authority... to prepare [our] critical infrastructure to withstand cyberattacks."³

State leaders should enforce robust cybersecurity standards for the operators of vital infrastructure, follow best practices as laid out in a recent White House Fact Sheet⁴, and take advantage of the federal infrastructure law including "350 billion in emergency funding... that may be used on cybersecurity, including the modernization of hardware and software."⁵
