OMB M-21-31

In the face of evolving cyber threats, the U.S. government has taken proactive measures to bolster the nation’s cybersecurity posture. The release of Executive Order 14028 and the subsequent OMB Memorandum M-21-31 underscore the government’s commitment to enhancing threat visibility and incident response.

Beyond just compliance, M-21-31 emphasizes the importance of sharing threat and incident response information across the Federal government, promoting a collaborative approach to cybersecurity.
