Google and Microsoft will invest $30 billion in cybersecurity over the next five years
After the meeting with President Joe Biden today, Google and Microsoft promised to invest a total of $ 30 billion in the progress of Cybersecurity for the next five years. Google promised $ 10 billion, while Microsoft promised $ 20 billion.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said on Twitter that the $ 150 million of the money would be used to expand the Microsoft training network and help us improve their security institutions. The White House describes certain investments as follows: “Microsoft … will immediately provide $ 150 million in technical services to help the federal government, state and local with increased security protection, and will expand partnerships with community and non-profit colleges for Cybersecurity training Of course. “
Google, meanwhile, will focus on extending the zero-trust security model, securing the software supply chain, building open-source security, and offers more training opportunities to Americans. In particular, Google said it would help 100,000 Americans for the next three years to get a Google Career Certificate in Siber.
Today, President of Biden met with technology companies and leaders of Cybersecurity to discuss threats such as the recent Solarwinds attack and how the US can defend the digital system better. In addition to Google and Microsoft’s financial infusion, Apple will establish a new supply chain protocol, it is widespread on behalf of a more stringent security, and Amazon will offer internal Siber security training to the public at no cost. Other organizations, including IBM, Girls WHO Code and Code.org, made plans to expand the Cybersecurity defense in all governments, society and industry.
It is not clear what will actually be excluded from the current White House Cybersecurity meeting, and $ 30 billion (and then some) certainly not a bad place to start.
