Tech companies pledge billions in cybersecurity investments

The Biden administration has been urging the private sector to do its part to protect against those increasingly sophisticated attacks.

The Washington gathering was held during a relentless stretch of ransomware attacks that have targeted critical infrastructure and major corporations, as well as other illicit cyber operations that U.S. authorities have linked to foreign hackers. Microsoft, meanwhile, said it would invest $20 billion in cybersecurity over the next five years and make available $150 million in technical services to help local governments upgrade their defenses. IBM plans to train 150,000 people in cybersecurity over three years, Apple said it would develop a new program to help strengthen the technology supply chain, and Amazon said it would offer to the public the same security awareness training it gives to employees.

The meeting took place as Biden’s national security team has been consumed by the troop withdrawal in Afghanistan and the chaotic evacuation of Americans and Afghan citizens. That it remained on the calendar indicates the administration regards cybersecurity as a major agenda item, with the administration official describing Wednesday’s meeting as a “call to action.”

Blah blah blah. Instead of only focusing defense, how about launching crippling, sustained cyber attacks on Russia? Shut down their grid. Expropriate all their foreign currency reserves (official and unofficial). Seize all their crypto wealth & then shut them out of the internet.

Okay okay keep up the good work
