White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan has invited the CEOs of major software firms to discuss ways to improve software security following the emergence of a critical vulnerability that US officials have said could affect hundreds of millions of devices around the world, a senior Biden administration official told reporters Thursday.
The January discussion between tech executives and White House officials is needed because open-source software is widely used but is maintained by volunteers, making it"a key national security concern," Sullivan said in a letter to tech firms, excerpts of which the White House shared with reporters. Invitees include software development firms and cloud service providers, according to the White House.
