The US proposes an international coalition to ensure cybersecurity
The American president is summoning the representatives of 30 nations of the world to join efforts against cybercriminals
Joe Biden, president of the United States, highlighted the need to manage and coordinate actions with other countries that allow “guaranteeing the cybersecurity measures” necessary to control hackers and bad actors, who intend to use new technologies for illicit activities.
As part of the commemoration of “cybersecurity” month, the White House plans to hold a meeting with representatives of 30 nations, in order to unite “efforts focused on the area of cybersecurity.”
Consistent with the White House plans, President Biden noted: “We are partnering closely with nations around the world on these shared threats, including our NATO allies and G7 partners. This month, the United States will bring together 30 countries to accelerate our cooperation in the fight against cybercrime, improving collaboration between law enforcement agencies, stopping the illicit use of cryptocurrencies and engaging diplomatically on these issues.”
The president of the United States is aware of the transcendental role of the latest generation technology to counteract crimes in the sector and his country is making efforts, together with other nations, in the development of new technologies that can efficiently guarantee security in all digital activities.
“We are forming a coalition of nations to promote and invest in reliable 5G technology and to better secure our supply chains, bringing the full force of our capabilities to disrupt malicious cyber activity, including managing the risks and opportunities of the emerging technologies as quantum computing and artificial intelligence”, points out the statement released by the White House.
Central focus: Cryptocurrencies
The development and growing use of cryptocurrencies globally has also generated a number of significant digital inconveniences and crimes. Among these attacks, the one carried out recently with ransomware-type software stands out, which complicated the operations of some organizations such as the Colonial Pipeline, forcing the United States government to request the “collaboration of Russia to be able to combat the hacker gangs that operate from said nation.”
In this context, the Joe Biden administration is committing to invigorate its cybersecurity by reinforcing its “critical infrastructure against cyberattacks, disrupting ransomware networks, working to establish and promote clear rules of the road for all nations in cyberspace and making clear that they “will hold accountable those who threaten our security”, said Biden.
