President Biden is holding a cybersecurity summit with the chief executives of some of the U.S.' largest technology companies following a slew of hacking incidents in the past year.
Officials from Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, IBM and ADP will file into the White House on Wednesday, according to a senior Biden administration official. Representatives from the financial sector will also join the event, including JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America TIAA, and U.S. Bancorp. Microsoft was among the roughly 100 companies and nine government agencies impacted by the SolarWinds supply chain attack first discovered last year. Earlier this year, a cyber espionage attack on Microsoft's Exchange email server impacted hundreds of thousands of organizations worldwide, sending cybersecurity responders into a frenzy.More Related News
