President Obama spoke at an important cybersecurity summit yesterday that was intended to address the massive increase in cyberattacks and data leaks in the past few years and how to combat them. There was hope that the summit would help bridge the gap between the public and private sectors in this regard but the absence of some very important tech leaders was quite noticeable.

The last six months have read like an A-Z of cybersecurity breaches ripping across industries, from retail (Target), to entertainment (Sony), to insurance (Anthem). According to U.S. Homeland Security, cybersecurity attacks have multiplied fivefold since 2009, with the seriousness of these breaches rising each year.
