According to the White House, the report—which is the first of its kind—“assesses the cybersecurity posture of the United States, the effectiveness of national cyber policy and strategy, and the status of the implementation of national cyber policy and strategy by Federal departments and agencies.” The report also describes active and emerging cyber threats—including novel technologies related to national security, economic growth, and “the rule of law.” The report covers 2023 and the period in 2024 preceding the release of the report.
The White House says that the U.S. cybersecurity posture has grown stronger over the past year through advancement toward the vision of a stable and “values-aligned digital ecosystem” laid out in the 2023 National Cybersecurity Strategy. The report also notes that the Biden administration has started to execute the plan for implementation of the cybersecurity strategy.
The report is divided into three parts. It first describes the “Strategic Environment” in which U.S. cybersecurity policy is operating, including an examination of adversaries’ capabilities and aims. It then outlines the U.S.’s “Current Efforts” to bolster domestic cybersecurity, which include, among others, promoting software security and addressing risks to the security and privacy of data. And it concludes by laying out a “Future Outlook.”
