Apple CEO Tim Cook participated in a meeting with President Joe Biden and other executives at the White House earlier today to discuss how companies can improve cybersecurity. As a result, Apple announced that it will create a new program to improve the security of its supply chain around the world.
Apple announced it will establish a new program to drive continuous security improvements throughout the technology supply chain. As part of that program, Apple will work with its suppliers – including more than 9,000 in the United States – to drive the mass adoption of multi-factor authentication, security training, vulnerability remediation, event logging, and incident response.
The meeting with President Biden follows multiple hacker attacks on critical infrastructure coming from Russian and Chinese groups. However, it’s unclear when exactly these measures will be put into practice by each company.
