G7 Leaders Meet For Summit At Schloss Elmau

Citing a series of embarrassing, high profile incursions against US computer networks in recent months, President Obama called for “much more aggressive” efforts to shore up the government’s vulnerable cyber-infrastructure. “This problem is not going to go away,” the President told reporters at a G7 press conference in Germany. “It is going to accelerate. And that means that we have to be as nimble, as aggressive and as well-resourced as those who are trying to break into these systems.” As such, he urged Congress to pass its pending cybersecurity legislation, such as the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015.
