The Biden administration is poised to issue new cybersecurity regulations for pipelines and liquefied natural gas facilities in the aftermath of the April hack that temporarily paralyzed the nation’s biggest liquid fuel conduit.
The rules, which could be released as early as this week by the Transportation Security Administration, are the second tranche by the agency since the attack on Colonial Pipeline Co.. It represents a further move away from a system that until now had relied on self-reporting and other voluntary measures.
