Donald Trump has signed an executive order to modernize and improve the nation’s computer networks and protect critical infrastructure from cyberattack.

The order, signed Thursday, outlines plans to improve the network security of US government agencies, which have fallen victim to high-profile data breaches in recent years. Among the new requirements is that agency heads must be accountable for implementing risk management measures and updating their systems.

The order also directs critical infrastructure operators – including those that provide utilities, financial and health networks – to identify ways to better defend their networks.
“Civil society organizations in the United States have fought hard against the militarization of the domestic internet. Not only is it bad policy to put civilian infrastructure under the domain of the military, but it could lead to increased NSA surveillance,” said global policy counsel Amie Stepanovich.

Trump’s American Technology Council has 90 days to come up with a plan to transition antiquated, fragmented systems across government to either “one or more consolidated network architectures” or “shared IT services, including email, cloud and cybersecurity services”.
