Microsoft bolsters global fight against cybercrime with new facility in Mexico; Digital Trends, February 26, 2017

Lulu Chang, Digital Trends; Microsoft bolsters global fight against cybercrime with new facility in Mexico

"Not all heroes wear capes — in fact, some of them wear glasses and sit on the IT team at Microsoft. On Friday, the technology company announced the launch of a new Cybersecurity Engagement Center in Mexico as part of its global initiative to bolster IT security...

The center will benefit Mexico and a number of other Latin American countries, and seeks to fight cybercrime by way of a number of different strategies. For one, Microsoft says it will dismantle criminal organizations that rely on botnet schemes, and will also bring together cybersecurity experts throughout the region to work alongside Microsoft specialists in order to fight cybercrime as a team. Microsoft also hopes that its new cybersecurity center will serve as a training headquarters, with activities focused on strengthening both the authorities’ and the public sectors’ technical capabilities."
