Explanation / Answer

Here's the solution, do give me a thumbs up if this helps!

As we all know, cybersecurity is one of the most required forms of security at the moment. Any form of malicious/non-malicious attempts can lead to a major disruption in services and cause a lot of hardships. The US government cannot directy control the security systems of every firm as every firm has its own systems and is not versatile enough. Thus, the Government can in fact issue regulations and deadlines for the private companies for installation of measures to prevent them fom cyber attacks which get the necessary security and the versatility and customisation.
