Biden signs order to enhance port cyber security

President Biden signed an executive order to enhance US port cyber security, allocating over $20bn for infrastructure improvements over five years. The move aims to counter potential Chinese hacking threats and strengthen supply chains. The order expands the Department of Homeland Security's authority and directs the US Coast Guard to bolster security for Chinese-built cranes at strategic seaports. The initiative aligns with efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese supply chains and manufacturing.
