In the wake of the SolarWinds hack and a radically different cyber threat environment, questions arise around how the Biden administration will approach cybersecurity. Will its strategy offer a major departure from Obama’s arguably weak approach or can we expect to see more of the same? Further, what role will a new Congress play? This discussion will center on some of the recent cyber appointments, offer predictions about threat priorities, and outline if and how there could be more cross-sectoral collaboration to arm up against growing cyberattacks.
