The Presidential Executive Order 13984, issued by Donald J. Trump, addresses the threat posed by foreign cyber actors using U.S. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) products for malicious activities. The order requires IaaS providers to verify the identities of foreign users and maintain transaction records to help combat cyber threats. It also outlines special measures for jurisdictions or persons involved in harmful cyber activities and encourages collaboration and information sharing among IaaS providers. The order further emphasizes ensuring sufficient resources for its implementation.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued special conditions for Universal Avionics to add a new digital systems architecture to specific airplanes. This change involves allowing more connections and access from external network sources like operator networks and the internet to the airplane's electronic systems, which were previously isolated. These conditions are necessary because current airworthiness standards do not address the security risks posed by this increased connectivity, such as potential unauthorized access and cyber threats. The special conditions outline safety measures to ensure that these risks are managed, maintain the safety of the aircraft, and apply only to the specific airplane models affected by these changes.

The President has decided to extend the national emergency concerning significant malicious cyber activities for another year beyond April 1, 2025. This emergency was originally declared on April 1, 2015, due to the threat these cyber activities pose to the United States' national security, foreign policy, and economy. Since then, several Executive Orders have been issued to address the situation. The extension will be officially noted in the Federal Register and communicated to Congress.
