Due to the rampant cyber attacks on private and public companies as well as government institutions, the President of the United States issued an Executive Order 14028 on May 12, 2021 to improve the nation’s cybersecurity.

To comply, companies must implement the five best practices from the Executive Order of the President:

• Back up data, system images, and configurations; regularly test them, and keep the backups offline.
• Update and patch systems promptly.
• Test the incident response plan.
• Check the work of the security team.
• Segment the networks.
