In February 2013, President Barack Obama issued an executive order (“Order”) outlining steps his administration will take to protect critical US infrastructure from cybersecurity threats.1

It provides for the development of a process to rapidly share unclassified information with specified targets and a voluntary classified information-sharing program for eligible entities.
