The CEOs of three of the world's biggest tech companies are set to meet with President Joe Biden at the White House to discuss cybersecurity, Bloomberg first reported on Monday.
Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy are scheduled to meet Biden on Wednesday afternoon, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
A source with knowledge of the matter also told Reuters that Jassy would attend.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, and Southern Company CEO Thomas Fanning have also been invited, a senior official familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
Insider contacted Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, IBM, JPMorgan Chase, and Southern Company for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
It's unclear what exactly the tech leaders will talk about with Biden on Wednesday, Bloomberg reported. The executives may discuss how software can improve cybersecurity in the tech industry, the senior official told Bloomberg.
Their meeting comes after various ransomware attacks and security breaches hit the US, including the Colonial Pipeline attack and the SolarWinds hack.
