A new proposal from SolarWindsâ outspoken CEO, Sudhakar Ramakrishna, could see software companies embed key staff with government cyber agencies to improve cooperation and incident response âThe only way our industry will be able to effectively respond to the evolving threat landscape is through a true partnership between the public and private sectors,â said Ramakrishna.

âToday, we are calling on the entire software industry to join us in this effort and encourage every software or technology company in the US to commit one full-time employee to work under the guidance and direction of CISA to support both threat intelligence and information sharing.

Speaking in 2021 at the NCSCâs virtual CyberUK event, he floated the idea of forming a consortium of businesses to take collective action to defend themselves against nation-state advanced persistent threat (APT) groups, such as Russiaâs Cozy Bear and others.
