The White House stated on Aug. 25 that some of the country’s leading technology companies have pledged to invest billions of dollars to bolster cybersecurity, with the commitment coming at a time when both public and private sector entities increasingly face sophisticated cyberattacks.
Amazon, Apple, Google, and IBM are among the companies to have made cybersecurity development and investment pledges, from enhancing open-source software security to training tens of thousands of people in cybersecurity skills to providing technical services to help local governments boost security protections, according to the White House.
