In the wake of the cyberattack that took one of America’s most important gas pipelines offline, Joe Biden has moved to strengthen the country’s defense against hackers.

Biden is urging both private companies and government organisations to join forces and confront “persistent and increasingly sophisticated malicious cyber campaigns”.

Key measures introduced include the requirement for IT service providers to inform the government of breaches that may impact US networks.

There will also be a standardised book created to outline appropriate federal responses to cyber attacks.

The announcement from Biden came just hours after Colonial Gas and Diesel announced that it has finally restarted pipeline operations.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
