On March 6, 2026, the White House released its National Cyber Strategy (Strategy) and issued an accompanying Executive Order, “Combating Cybercrime, Fraud, and Predatory Schemes Against American Citizens” (EO). These documents outline the administration’s priorities for combating cybercrime and call for coordination across the federal government and the private sector to invest in new technologies, continue innovation, and prioritize the United States’ cyber capabilities. Key sectors of concern include energy, financial services, telecommunications, data centers, water, and health care. The Strategy and EO encourage increased public-private coordination, signal greater latitude for private sector offensive cyber operations, prioritize securing critical infrastructure, elevate cybercrime as a national security priority, outline a path for victim compensation, and promote streamlining cyber regulations.
