Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon chiefs meet Biden in a critical infrastructure cyberattack

US President Joe Biden invites Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy to the White House, with private sector ransomware and software We talked about how it can help fight the supply chain attacks of.

The next meeting, reported by Bloomberg, was about US resilience to major cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, and Biden told Russian President Vladimirputin that it should be “off limits.”

In July, Mr Biden said he believed that if the United States were involved in a “real shooting war,” it would be a response to a major cyberattack. US government agencies and key infrastructure providers face numerous ransomware and spying activities during the pandemic, including SolarWinds software supply chain spy attacks, ransomware attacks on Colonial Pipeline, Caseya, and Meat Packer JBS.

Cook, Nadella and Jasie will be attending the event on Wednesday afternoon, July 24, according to Bloomberg sources.

Chiefs of Google, IBM, Southern Co, and JPMorgan Chase were also invited to the meeting to discuss how key infrastructure organizations in the banking, energy, and water services sectors can improve cybersecurity and government collaboration.

Microsoft, AWS, Cisco, FireEye, and IBM are currently participating in a government-led effort to strengthen critical US infrastructure as part of Biden’s May Cybersecurity Executive Order.

With the rise of software supply chain attacks, European cybersecurity teams are also concerned. This is because it is difficult to validate third-party code, whether it is open source software or proprietary software.

The SolarWinds attack, which has compromised Microsoft, several of the top US cybersecurity companies, and several government agencies, has highlighted cybersecurity risks to critical US infrastructure.

Another threat comes from commonly used enterprise software such as Microsoft Exchange Server. Microsoft Exchange Server claims to have been exploited by Beijing-backed hackers before Microsoft patches were available.
