A cybersecurity meeting hosted by Joe Biden is said to be taking place

 Bloomberg reports that Google, IBM, and others have also been invited.


According to Bloomberg, President Joe Biden plans to host a meeting on Wednesday to discuss how companies are improving cybersecurity following a wave of recent security breaches and ransomware attacks. Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy will all be in attendance to discuss how companies are improving cybersecurity. According to Bloomberg, Google, IBM, JPMorgan Chase, and the energy company Southern Company have all been invited, with Southern Company CEO Tom Fanning expected to attend as well, among other companies.

While it is unclear exactly what the president and any other attendees will be talking about, given recent events such as the massive Solarwinds hack, the Kaseya ransomware attack, and the Colonial Pipeline shut down as a result of a cyberattack, there will undoubtedly be plenty to talk about at the meeting.

Bloomberg reached out to Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, IBM, JPMorgan, and Southern Company, all of which declined to comment, while a Southern Company spokesman declined to speak to The Verge. The Verge has reached out to the other corporations and the White House for comment but has received no response.
