What is the European Security Program?
The European Security Program is an initiative launched by Microsoft to assist European governments in responding to escalating cyber threats. It focuses on enhancing AI-powered intelligence sharing, fostering cross-border collaboration, and building long-term digital resilience. The program aims to strengthen cybersecurity across Europe, particularly in light of increasing threats from ransomware groups and state-sponsored actors.
How does Microsoft plan to enhance threat intelligence sharing?
Microsoft is increasing AI-based threat intelligence sharing by providing European governments with actionable insights tailored to their specific national threat environments. This includes real-time updates on sophisticated nation-state cyber activities, as well as expanding the availability of intelligence from the Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit to support rapid responses to cyber threats.
What investments is Microsoft making in cybersecurity?
Microsoft is investing additional resources to enhance collaboration with European governments and civil society. This includes partnerships with organizations like Europol to improve intelligence sharing, support for NGOs through the CyberPeace Institute, and initiatives aimed at scaling cybersecurity capabilities in regions like the Western Balkans. These efforts are designed to build long-term resilience against cyber threats.
