The post-SolarWinds EO could be issued as soon as next week, according to a report from Reuters. It would require software companies to disclose any security issues to government users. The SolarWinds cyberattacks came to light in December, a massive cyberespionage campaign that has hit nine U.S. government agencies, tech companies like Microsoft and 100 others hard. The order as it stands would also require vendors to keep digital records and work with the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
