President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that revises or eliminates key cybersecurity initiatives established by the Biden administration, which the White House criticized as "problematic." The order removes Biden's software security requirements for federal contractors, aimed at enhancing security post-cyberattacks, and dismantles efforts related to artificial intelligence in cybersecurity and post-quantum cryptography. These changes reflect a shift towards what the Trump administration considers a less burdensome approach to cybersecurity, focusing on compliance over substantive improvements in security practices.
