The Biden administration sent an open letter to U.S. business leaders Thursday asking them to take the proper steps to protect their organizations from ransomware attacks. The letter was sent by Anne Neuberger, deputy assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technology. The call to action was praised by security professionals and elected officials who called the letter a sign that the White House understands the threat created by ransomware attacks and is taking a proactive approach. The private sector also has a critical responsibility to protect against these threats.”]
