On 14 September 2022, the White House released Memorandum M-22-18, which requires executive departments and agencies of the US government to ensure that all companies providing them with software and services are sufficiently protected against cyber attacks.
“The Executive Order 14028, Improving the nation’s cybersecurity, was released in May 2021,” says Theresa Payton, a member of Conceal’s board of advisers and former White House chief information officer. “The newest memo from September 2022, M-22-18, ensures that federal agencies follow the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) guidance resulting from EO 14028.”
