President Barack Obama is to meet CEOs in Silicon Valley today to canvass their views on ways to improve existing cyber legislation.
That’s in the wake of massive attacks on healthcare company Anthem and Sony.
According to Reuters, Obama is expected to say that government and the private sector need to cooperate better to meet the challenges of cyber attacks.
A White House representative said that the idea is that if the USA gets it right, more people and companies worldwide will do business with America.
But while Obama will meet some CEOs, some will pointedly stay away including Google, Facebook and Yahoo. They don’t think that the US has done enough to protect their customers from NSA surveillane.
Obama wants Congress to pass a law giving liability protection to companies that share their data about security.
