go to original February 27, 2017

Microsoft last week opened a Cybersecurity Engagement Center in Mexico. This center will be taking advantage of Microsoft’s proactive role in matters of fighting cybercrime, particularly in the dismantling of criminal organizations that operate through Botnet schemes. It will allow cybersecurity experts from Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America to work with Microsoft specialists to fight cybercrime together. It will also act as a headquarters for the development of training activities in order to support the building and strengthening of technical capabilities.

“This new center will work together with Microsoft’s Cybercrime Center in Redmond, Washington. The objective is to help companies and governments with security solutions, which help them in their digital transformation through the international support of the intelligence, data analysis, avant-garde forensics and legal strategies that we offer,” added Jean-Philippe Courtois, executive vice president and president, Microsoft Global Sales, Marketing and Operations, during his visit to the Cybersecurity Center in Mexico City.

Microsoft also announced that they are signing with the Federal Police (in representation of the Mexican government), a Government Security Program that reinforces the work of carrying out actions focused on technological research in order to promote IT security and also to prevent and fight crimes that are committed through the internet.
