Facebook, Microsoft and 32 other technology companies have signed a joint declaration on cybersecurity. According to the text, they are supposed to protect their users from cyber attacks and, importantly, not to help governments tempt them to tempt us to be private or to act under the umbrella of the cyber war.
Facebook, Microsoft and other companies sign together with the cybersecurity declaration
Cybersecurity Tech Accord is a declaration signed by 34 large technology and cybersecurity companies. The list includes such industries as Facebook, HP, Microsoft, Nokia, Cisco, Arm or Trend Micro. Together they are to focus on four areas of digital security.
Above all, it is about protecting users more strongly against cyber-attacks and not helping governments to implement cyber-attacks against innocent citizens and businesses. The companies are also to help increase the possibilities of personal and entrepreneurial protection against attacks of this type.
What is extremely interesting, the list lacks such companies as Apple, Amazon, Twitter or Google. Instead, there is the Microsoft mentioned above and Facebook. Not surprisingly, Microsoft’s participation in this project has suffered from cyber-attacks on personal computers with Windows. It was, of course, about the old case of WannaCry’s ransomware and the subsequent attack by NotPetya, for whom responsibility was placed on North Korea and Russia, among others.
