Major Tech Companies Collaborate on Advanced Cybersecurity Measures
Major tech companies are actively collaborating with the U.S. government to enhance cybersecurity measures in response to President Biden’s call for action against increasing cyber threats. This collaboration involves tech giants like Microsoft, IBM, AWS, Google, and Apple, who have pledged to increase their cybersecurity spending.
Initiatives include developing a new framework to improve the security and integrity of the technology supply chain and investments in cybersecurity skills training. Google plans to invest $10 billion, and Microsoft will invest $20 billion over the next five years to enhance cybersecurity measures.
The collaboration also focuses on establishing new programs for continuous security improvements across the technology supply chain, with initiatives like multi-factor authentication, security training, and vulnerability remediation.
Companies like AWS and Apple are contributing by making security training public and enhancing supply chain security. Additionally, the U.S. is working internationally to combat ransomware and update cybersecurity policies, emphasizing the importance of global cooperation in cybersecurity efforts.
