Biden asks CEOs for help on cybersecurity: 'We can't meet this challenge alone'

President Joe Biden had a high-profile meeting with the heads of some of the world’s biggest tech, energy, and financial services companies on Wednesday to discuss the nation's cybersecurity preparedness.

Figures from the the biggest technology companies, like newly minted Amazon (AMZN) CEO Andy Jassy, Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook, Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) CEO Sundar Pichai, and Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella were all on the guest list.

Additionally, players from the financial sector like Bank of America (BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon joined the event, as well as CEOs and leaders in energy — such as energy firm Southern Company CEO Thomas Fanning — insurance, and education.

Speaking to those CEOs, Biden noted some of the administration's efforts to combat cyberattacks, including bringing together 30 nations to work together to combat ransomware.

A large % of our defense budget needs to move to Cyber Security. This is the warfare of the future and will be devastating.
