The American government δήλωσε την Τετάρτη ότι θα συνεργαστεί με τη Big Tech για να καθορίσει νέες κατευθυντήριες γραμμές για τη βελτίωση της ασφάλειας της αλυσίδας εφοδιασμού τεχνολογίας, καθώς ο Πρόεδρος Τζο Μπάιντεν κάλεσε τα στελέχη του ιδιωτικού τομέα να «ανεβάσουν τον πήχη στην cyber security».
In Biden's meetings at the White House with members of his cabinet, Big Tech executives, the financial industry and Companies infrastructure, said they would take action against the growing threat of cyber attacks on the US economy.
"The federal government can not meet this challenge alone," Biden told the East Room.
After the meeting, the White House said the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) would work with industry and other partners on new guidelines for creation secure technology and assessing the security of technology, including open source software.
Microsoft, Google, Travelers and Coalition, a cybersecurity provider, among others, have pledged to join the new NIST-led initiative.
Cybersecurity tops Biden's agenda after a series of attacks on the company SolarWinds Corp. Network Management, the company Colonial Pipeline, the meat processing company JBS and the software company Kaseya. The attacks damaged the United States far more than the hacking companies, affecting fuel and food supplies.
