U.S. OMB Rescinds Biden-Era Secure Software Memo, Making Compliance Voluntary

The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has rescinded a Biden-era memorandum on secure software. Russell Vought issued an updated memo making the use of a common attestation form voluntary. A critic told CyberScoop that this move represents the "first major policy rollback" on cybersecurity under the Trump administration. The original memorandum was considered "binding" according to the article's headline.
