Biden: “We've seen time and again how the technologies we rely on, from our cell phones to pipelines to the electric grid, can become targets of hackers and criminals. But at the same time, our skilled cybersecurity workforce is not growing fast enough keep pace.”
Biden, after mentioning G-7 agreement on ransomware, adds, “I had a summit with Vladimir Putin and made it clear to him that we expected him to hold [Russian cyber criminals] accountable as well, because they know where they are and who they are.”
Biden: “The reality is, most of our critical infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector, and the federal government can't meet this challenge alone.”
Biden concludes by telling assembled leaders, “I've invited you all here today because you have the power and the capacity and the responsibility, I believe, to raise the bar on cybersecurity.”
After a barely three-minute statement, the private meeting is beginning.
