A group of technology companies has committed to a unified set of cybersecurity principles as part of a broader effort to enhance global internet security by joining the Cybersecurity Tech Accord. These principles focus on protecting users and customers, opposing cyberattacks on innocent parties, empowering stakeholders to improve cybersecurity measures, and fostering partnerships across the industry. The initiative emphasizes collaboration with engineers, researchers, policymakers, and others to address fundamental vulnerabilities in internet infrastructure, which are increasingly being exploited for cyberattacks, sometimes by governments. The commitment includes embedding security into software development, participating in bug bounty programs, and advocating for policies that bolster internet security while resisting those that could weaken it. The companies involved urge others to join in these efforts and call on governments to safeguard civilians from cyber threats.
