Big Amazon announcement after Biden meeting
Biden asks CEOs for help on cybersecurity: 'We can't meet this challenge alone'
President Joe Biden had a high-profile meeting with the heads of some of the world’s biggest tech, energy, and financial services companies on Wednesday to discuss the nation's cybersecurity preparedness.
Figures from the biggest technology companies, like newly minted Amazon (AMZN) CEO Andy Jassy, Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook, Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) CEO Sundar Pichai, and Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella were all on the guest list.
Additionally, players from the financial sector like Bank of America (BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon joined the event, as well as CEOs and leaders in energy — such as energy firm Southern Company CEO Thomas Fanning — insurance, and education.
Speaking to those CEOs, Biden noted some of the administration's efforts to combat cyberattacks, including bringing together 30 nations to work together to combat ransomware.
"But the reality is, most of our critical infrastructure owned and operated — is owned and operated by the private sector, and the federal government can’t meet this challenge alone," Biden said. "So I’ve invited you all here today because you have the power, the capacity, and the responsibility, I believe, to raise the bar on cybersecurity."

Funny how these three companies always seem to show up isn't it? Are they, "American," companies, or owned by someone non-American? Considering it's about cyber security, wouldn't it make more sense to limit it to homegrown companies? What good would it be to have companies that are not completely American, "helping," us with cyber security? Doesn't make a whole of sense does it?
