The US just hosted a major multinational cybersecurity summit - but will it help?
The US hosted a two day cybersecurity summit with a big focus on how important it is for countries to work together to combat the problem.

It is critical therefore that we not only focus on preventing such attacks but also on our awareness and defense of such attacks when (not if) they happen.
