US President Joe Biden has staged a cyber security summit at the White House, and it’s produced quick results in the form of big tech making vague promises about stuff they think will improve the nation’s security<\/p>\n
The premise of the event was Biden’s belief that America can’t go on being hurt by ransomware, state-backed disinformation naughtiness, and other forms of infosec-driven attacks, but as government can’t address security alone private enterprise must weigh in with its own efforts.<\/p>\n
“The reality is, most of our critical infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector,” Biden said<\/a> as the event convened. “So I’ve invited you all here today because you have the power, the capacity, and the responsibility, I believe, to raise the bar on cyber security.”<\/p>\n
