White House released Cyber Strategy for America

On 6 March 2026, the White House released the Cyber Strategy for America, a national framework designed to guide defensive and offensive operations in cyberspace. The strategy addresses privacy and intellectual property by focusing on technology supply chain security and the use of foreign platforms that conduct surveillance. It is organised around six policy pillars covering adversary behaviour, regulatory requirements, and the modernisation of federal government networks. The framework includes emerging technologies, such as agentic and generative AI, for network defence and threat detection. It also covers the security of critical infrastructure, including energy, telecommunications, and financial systems. The strategy considers workforce and education developments to support cyber capabilities. Implementation involves coordination with state, local, Tribal, and territorial authorities to support national security objectives and infrastructure recovery after cyber incidents, while involving the private sector in activities related to adversary network disruption.
