None of this is needed. Everything positive that is written about, can be done without any legislation or exec. order. Only purpose of legislation/exec. order is theater – Gov’t has done something, you’re saved! Baloney.

Companies and gov’t agencies have an interest in protecting their assets against cybersecurity without any legislation. But that doesn’t mean that cyber hacks won’t find ways to defeat protections, they will. So the real answer is multiplicity and diversity in networks. They costs money and companies and especially gov’t agencies (water, etc.) aren’t going to increase the cost of essential services (in essence, a tax) volunarily. So if legislation is passed, that allows them to spend oodles of money on diverse backup systems that can be passed on to you, the consumer/tax payer. And even then, not all areas will be protected because we can’t think of everything before the hackers do. So this is a big boondogle tax that will at most only moderately make things better protected.
