Microsoft chief Satya drops an S bomb in Windows 10, cloud talk

Microsoft claims it really does care about privacy and securing the cloud and Windows 10, promising to build cybersecurity teams and investing in the area.

A new Cyber Defense Operations Center will bring together security response experts from across the technology giant in a new “state-of-the-art” facility. The unit will be staffed around the clock by security professionals, data analysts, engineers, developers, program managers, and operations specialists.

Workers at the facility will work closely with a Microsoft Enterprise Cybersecurity Group. The business unit will offer security assessments and provides ongoing monitoring, threat detection, and incident response capabilities. Regular infused consultants and vendors offer similar service, but Microsoft aims to distinguish itself through the experience of delivering cloud-based services to both consumers (XBox Live) and enterprises (Azure, Office 365).

A new Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) will offer support for mobile application management without the need to enroll the device. The technology will incorporate features that aim to help IT staff in protecting and managing corporate applications and data on any Windows, iOS, and Android device.

Microsoft chief exec Satya Nadella outlined the strategy at an event in Washington DC on Tuesday morning. The speech was the first time Nadella has talked about security since becoming Microsoft chief exec.
