readability=\"55.172323759791\"><body readability=\"110.34464751958\"><\/p>\n<p>On Thursday Biden administration officials rolled out a long-awaited implementation plan for the White House\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/biden-national-cybersecurity-strategy-2023\/\">national cybersecurity strategy<\/a> against the backdrop of two events that illustrate the major obstacles facing the administration in improving the security of U.S. computing infrastructure. <\/p>\n<p>First, Microsoft revealed that Chinese-linked hackers <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/china-hackers-email-us-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pilfered the emails of top U.S. officials<\/a> by exploiting flaws in cloud computing systems that the Biden administration has promoted for their security benefits. Next, <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.movies.yahoo.com\/biden-administration-water-cybersecurity-plan-221735377.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMvldw4kJeubSdidup39ur4AwfTIYLu-Iqyf-XQp7jK5NEFUO6aSSjgsrroaezerGtAVSGlxDY9g5PIk0tfGB3TKkdsHi1IMArfL_ewASSAIbCqO1lcp_g4TMT0p4S2CySVyMn0a_IcyG2i-Wv1TtT72Rd1y271eSKfNpon9lnpw&guccounter=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a court halted<\/a> a controversial regulation mandating U.S. water systems improve their cybersecurity posture. <\/p>\n<p>These two events highlight the hurdles that must be cleared to achieve the bold goals outlined in the strategy and its implementation plan <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/national-cybersecurity-strategy-implementation-plan-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">released this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration\u2019s strategy seeks to create stricter minimum cybersecurity standards for critical infrastructure and to shift the responsibility for securing systems to better resourced players \u2014 including by adopting cloud computing solutions. But if courts rule against those standards and Chinese hackers are nonetheless able to penetrate cloud services, Biden administration officials face a tall task in trying to protect the nation\u2019s most sensitive infrastructure. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Earlier this year, the EPA issued a major new rule establishing mandates for the water sector that required states to evaluate the industry\u2019s digital defenses through sanitation surveys. While experts and the water industry all agreed on the need for cybersecurity mandates, relying on sanitation surveys to evaluate cybersecurity <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/water-sector-epa-rules-change-misguided\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sparked intense criticism<\/a>. Surveyors, experts and industry representatives argued, are simply ill equipped to evaluate cybersecurity. <\/p>\n<p>The American Water Works Association, other water trade groups and Republican-led states filed suit, calling into question the legality of the rule. And this week a court temporarily <a href=\"http:\/\/awwa.org\/AWWA-Articles\/court-pauses-cybersecurity-rule-for-awwa-nrwa-water-utility-members-following-legal-challenge1\">paused<\/a> the rule while that legal challenge makes its way through the courts. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAWWA strongly supports efforts to strengthen cybersecurity in the water sector, but the Sanitary Survey Program is not the right tool for the job,\u201d AWWA CEO David LaFrance said in a statement. \u201cWe are grateful our viewpoint will be heard by the court and look forward to working together with EPA and others on a smart path forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That suit may create a roadblock for other potential moves by the administration to use existing authorities to create cybersecurity mandates for other critical infrastructure sectors. <\/p>\n<p>The implementation plan released this week does not call for any specific new regulations, and instead asks sector risk management agencies to analyze potential risks in the industries they oversee and figure out how to use current authorities to mitigate those risks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But if U.S. courts rule against efforts to mandate improved cybersecurity using existing statutes, sector risk management agencies may have to develop proposals for new authorities \u2014 which may require an act of Congress and a slower process to create stricter security standards.<\/p>\n<p>And the suit may also create obstacles to the White House\u2019s plans to harmonize different rules for various critical infrastructure sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Owners and operators of critical infrastructure have long complained about overlapping regulations they must adhere to, particularly if the owner works in more than one sector. The Biden administration\u2019s implementation plan for its cybersecurity strategy calls for harmonizing critical infrastructure regulations by exploring a \u201cframework for reciprocity for baseline requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at an event in Washington on Thursday, Nick Leiserson, the White House\u2019s assistant national cyber director for cyber policy and programs, said the administration aims to find areas of overlapping regulations and use that as a roadmap to determine which cybersecurity standards in one sector might be recognized by another. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re really after to the greatest extent possible is reciprocity,\u201d Leiserson said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But some experts are concerned how standards will be harmonized in practice. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a concept, I generally like the idea of pushing to try and harmonize regulations. There are so many different regulations for different sectors out there that it can be a little bit confusing for owner operators,\u201d said Will Loomis, associate director of the Atlantic Council\u2019s Cyber Statecraft Initiative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn pushing for one big set of regulation for all critical infrastructure you kind of risk missing a lot of the nuance that exists in the differentiation and the realities of different critical infrastructure sectors,\u201d Loomis said.<\/p>\n<p>And as the U.S. government works to assess the scope of the Chinese hacking campaign that utilized a flaw in Microsoft\u2019s cloud computing systems, Loomis said he was disappointed that the implementation plan did not look more closely at cloud security. <\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration\u2019s cybersecurity strategy called out the vulnerabilities of a cloud computing industry consolidated among a handful of players, but this week\u2019s implementation document focused only on so-called know your customer laws for infrastructure-as-a-service providers like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe lack of cloud almost entirely in this aside from the know your customer piece really stands out and in a lot of ways it is kind of alarming,\u201d said Loomis. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty clear that this is a huge area of concentrated risk for the entire ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That said, Biden administration officials emphasize that the implementation plan is a living document and is set to be updated next year to potentially address missing aspects.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer
