International Business Machines Corp. said it is creating a
cybersecurity center for U.S. federal clients in light of current
and future cybersecurity threats.
The company Wednesday said the IBM Center for Government
Security will host workshops focused on issues like cloud security.
The center will be at IBM's offices in downtown Washington, D.C.,
IBM said.
The center's advisory group includes Tony Scott, a former U.S.
chief information officer; Curt Duke, a former information security
and cybersecurity lead for the National Security Agency; and
Kiersten Todt, a former cybersecurity adviser for former President
Barack Obama.
Meatpacker JBS SA was recently hit by a ransomware attack that
took a big chunk of U.S. beef-and-pork processing offline, sending
buyers scrambling for alternatives and raising pressure on meat
supplies. The attack is the latest in a growing number to hit a
range of businesses and institutions, including hospitals, the oil
industry and local water supplies.
