Proclamation 10295

Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, 2021

This proclamation designates November 2021 as Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, calling on Americans to recognize infrastructure protection importance. It describes existing Biden administration initiatives—an Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity Initiative, a National Security Memorandum on critical infrastructure cybersecurity, performance goals with DHS/NIST, a Counter Ransomware Initiative, and infrastructure investments through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal—but does not create new binding directives or programs.
