Trump Administration's EO On Cybercrime And A Cyber Strategy For America

On Friday, March 6, 2026, the White House issued a sweeping Executive Order (EO) titled, "Combating Cybercrime, Fraud, and Predatory Schemes Against American Citizens." The EO reflects what most organizations already know all too well: cybercrime is no longer an episodic threat. It is a relentless, organized enterprise that is inflicting devastating financial, operational, and human harm across the globe and, in particular, in the United States.

The Trump Administration also published in March a Cyber Strategy for America, laying out six pillars underpinning the cyber strategy: Shape Adversary Behavior, Promote Common Sense Regulation, Modernize and Security Federal Government Networks, Secure Critical Infrastructure, Sustain Superiority in Critical Technologies, and Build Talent and Capacity.
