President Joe Biden said in a statement that the strategy “takes on the systemic challenge that too much of the responsibility for cybersecurity has fallen on individual users and small organisations.”
A top Google official, for one, said his company welcomed the Biden administration plan. Phil Venables, Google Cloud’s chief information security officer, said there are many products in the marketplace that don’t have basic protections built in.
Such an ambitious effort comes despite the failure of the Biden administration to advance legislation in its first two years to rein in the power of the biggest tech companies including Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. The next presidential election is less than two years away, raising the question of whether the administration can even come close to delivering the most ambitious goal of its new strategy to protect Americans from hackers.
The administration’s strategy also promises a stronger stance against ransomware, in which criminals encrypt a victim’s files until an extortion fee is paid. .
