Even as we work with Russia to advance U.S. interests, so too we work to hold Russia to account for its reckless and adversarial actions, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Thursday. To this end, the president is also issuing a tasking to the intelligence community for its full assessment of the SolarWinds cyber breach, Russian interference in the 2020 election, its use of chemical weapons against opposition leader Alexei Navalny and the alleged bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
The Biden administration also proposes spending $1 billion for several other cybersecurity and IT initiatives, including:
$200 million for the rapid hiring of security experts to work for the Office of the U.S. Chief Information Security Officer as well as the Digital Service unit in the White House;
$300 million to fund additional IT projects within the GSA;
$690 million for a CISA project designed to improve monitoring and incident response across federal agencies.
The proposed new spending on security and IT improvements is in direct response to the SolarWinds supply chain hack, which has affected federal agencies, including the Treasury, Commerce, Homeland Security, Justice and Energy departments, as well as numerous private firms.
