After the subsequent executive order on cybersecurity from US President Joe Biden, regulation is expected to tighten. America’s new cybersecurity rules will probably draw from the cybersecurity framework maintained by the US commerce department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology. Even with revised security standards, businesses in general would benefit from greater transparency on cyber breaches and software vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity ultimately comes down to questions of human behaviour, and people are prone to cut corners when they underestimate risk. The worst outcome would be for cybersecurity to turn into a checkbox-ticking exercise, like the pointless rituals that we suffer at airports.
