Trump administration takes aim at Biden and Obama cybersecurity rules

President Trump has rolled back several key cybersecurity policies established by previous administrations, including measures allowing agencies to accept digital identity documents for public benefits, which critics say could facilitate illegal immigration. He also rescinded Biden’s AI guidelines for energy infrastructure and increased federal support for quantum-resistant encryption while relaxing rules on AI use in cybersecurity. These actions signal a broader strategy to shift away from restrictive security measures toward more genuine investments in technology and cybersecurity.
