President Donald Trump has finally signed a long-awaited executive order on cybersecurity, and he called for the U.S. government to move more into the cloud and modernize its IT infrastructure.

The order, signed on Thursday, is designed to "centralize risk" and move the government's agencies toward shared IT services, White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert said in a press briefing

"We've got to move to the cloud, and try to protect ourselves, instead of fracturing our security posture," he said.

Too much time and money have been spent protecting old federal IT systems, some of which store U.S. citizens' data, he said. In response, Trump's executive order demands that all agency heads "show preference" for shared IT services when procuring new IT services.

The planned modernization also includes transitioning government agencies to one or more consolidated networks. Bossert said the goal is to view "our IT as one federal enterprise network."

"If we don’t do so, we will not be able to adequately understand what risk exists and how to mitigate it," he said.

Government agencies will also implement the NIST framework, voluntary guidance that the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology first published in 2014 to protect organizations from cyberthreats.

"It is something we have asked the private sector to implement, and not forced upon ourselves," Bossert said. "From this point forward, departments and agencies shall practice what we preach."

stop DDoS attacks from botnets, which are armies of hacked computers.

Some had worried the executive order would force private companies to stop botnets, but Bossert said any action would occur voluntarily.

Thursday's executive order was also timed to coordinate with another Trump effort to modernize the U.S. government's IT infrastructure, which the White House announced earlier this month.
