Against cyberthreats
U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron
have pledged to increase cooperation on a number of issues facing their two
nations, including cybersecurity.
Speaking alongside Cameron at the White House Friday, President Obama
said the decision was made 'given the urgent and growing danger of
cyberthreats' and is intended 'to protect our critical infrastructure, our
businesses and the privacy of our people.'
The move comes in the wake of the devastating November 24 hacking of
Sony Pictures Entertainment and attacks this week on social media accounts of
the U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S.-led airstrikes on Islamic State
insurgents in Iraq and Syria.
