CYBER ASSESSMENTS INCOMING

President Biden rolled out a national strategy to address the COVID-19 pandemic on Thursday, and included a clause requiring the director of national intelligence to assess cyber threats to the vaccine effort.

“The Director of National Intelligence will lead an assessment of ongoing cyber threats and foreign interference campaigns targeting COVID-19 vaccines and related public health efforts,” the strategy reads.

“The U.S. Government will take steps to address cyber threats to the fight against COVID-19, including cyber attacks on COVID-19 research, vaccination efforts, the health care systems and the public health infrastructure.”
