Amazon, Apple, Google, IBM and Microsoft have collectively made a series of commitments to support US president Joe Biden’s “whole-of-nation” effort to address cyber security threats against US citizens, organisations and critical infrastructure operators.
The undertakings were detailed following a meeting between Biden and leaders drawn from across the public and private sectors in the wake of a spate of high-profile cyber attacks on American interests in 2021.
“We’ve seen time and again how the technologies we rely on – from our cell phones to pipelines to the electric grid – can become targets of hackers and criminals,” said Biden in prepared remarks.
