Senior government officials are privately sounding the alarm over a new cybersecurity executive order President Joe Biden is poised to sign.

Biden vowed in April to take steps toward securing U.S. cyber-infrastructure and preventing future security breaches like the 2020 SolarWinds hack. The New York Times reported Sunday night, however, that some officials and lawmakers involved in the drafting of the order have expressed concerns about its ability to prevent breaches like the ransomware attack that shuttered the Colonial Pipeline over the weekend.
