United States President Joe Biden met with top technology executives on Wednesday. The gathering was held during a relentless stretch of cyber attacks that have targeted critical infrastructure. Biden administration has been urging the private sector to do its part to strengthen cybersecurity defences against those increasingly sophisticated attacks. After the meeting, the White House announced that Google had committed to invest US$10 billion in cybersecurity over the next five years. Microsoft, IBM and Apple said it would develop a new programme to help strengthen the supply chain and expand zero-trust programmes. IBM plans to train 150,000 people in cybersecurity.
