President Barack Obama gathered chief executives from energy, finance and technology companies to emphasize the threat posed by criminal and state-sponsored hackers, which the administration regards as one of the nation’s main security challenges.

The White House meeting with corporate leaders including Honeywell Inc.’s David M.
