According to this order, the White House will provide $2 billion in cyber funding in the infrastructure plan
After a series of high-profile attacks on network management company Colonial Pipeline, meat processor JBS and software company Kaseya, cyber security is at the top of the Biden administration's agenda, as these attacks on the United States go far beyond corporate hacking and fuel. And the food supply has damaged this country.
In a meeting with technology giants, Biden asked them to help America's cyber security
After this meeting, Google announced that in the next 5 years, it will spend more than 10 billion dollars to strengthen the cyber security of the United States and the software supply chain.
Google has also promised to train more than 100,000 Americans in the field of data analysis and IT support through the company's Career Certificate program.
Microsoft also announced that, in order to speed up the provision of cyber security, it will invest about 20 billion dollars in a period of 5years,
which shows a 4-fold increase compared to the current situation.
Another challenge of the US in providing cyber security is that the government is facing a severe shortage of cyber forces, even when it is most needed.The shortage of cyber operatives has made it more difficult to protect government data. Since 2016, the government's cyber workforce has grown by only about 8 percent, while cyber attacks have increased at an unprecedented rate.
