BACKGROUND:
Yesterday, President Biden hosted executives from major technology, financial, and energy companies for a summit on national cybersecurity, calling the issue “the core national security challenge we are facing.” Speaking to reporters briefly at the start of the meeting, Mr. Biden highlighted estimates that roughly half a million cybersecurity jobs in the U.S. are currently unfilled and stressed the private sector needs to do more to safeguard digital systems from criminal and state-backed hackers and spies. “The federal government can’t meet this challenge alone,” Mr. Biden said. “I’ve invited you all here because you have the power, the capacity, and the responsibility, I believe, to raise the bar on cybersecurity.”
