Microsoft launches cyber security engagement centre in India

Software giant Microsoft has opened its first Cyber Security Engagement Centre in Gurugram to drive public-private partnerships to fight cybercrime, strengthen the cooperation with Indian businesses, government and academic organizations on cybersecurity, and increase its contribution towards securing Indian computer and internet users from cybercrime threats.

The centre brings together Microsoft’s Digital Crime Unit experts comprising attorneys, investigators and security response experts from across the company. The Gurugram center is one of the seven centers globally and will serve as a dedicated hub for Microsoft in India.

As part of Microsoft Consultancy Services (MCS), a dedicated India-based response team will also offer cyber monitoring, use machine learning based detection technology and ensure rapid response and resolution to cyber threats to enterprise customers in the country, Microsoft said in a statement.

Bhaskar Pramanik, Chairman, Microsoft India, said, “India stands at an exciting threshold today as data becomes a key driver of growth across every sector and industry and cloud-based computing becomes more prevalent. Cybersecurity is crucial for Digital India. A data driven economy can flourish only when governments, businesses and individuals have access to hyper scale and hyper flexible cloud computing with the confidence that their data is secure. Our Cyber Security Engagement Center in Gurgaon underlines our relentless commitment to security and partnering India in its digital transformation.” For the full article click here
