Microsoft has launched the European Security Program (ESP), a new initiative aimed at significantly strengthening cybersecurity across Europe. The program provides critical resources to governments within the European Union, the United Kingdom, EU accession countries, and members of the European Free Trade Association. Microsoft Vice Chair Brad Smith unveiled the ESP in Berlin, emphasizing the need for enhanced cyber protection amidst growing sophistication and scope of cyber threats.
The ESP is a three-pronged strategy that includes AI-enhanced threat intelligence, direct collaboration with Europol, and automated disruption of malicious infrastructure. This program aims to counter the rising tide of cyberattacks from nation-state actors, specifically those originating from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Microsoft is offering these AI-powered defense tools and threat intelligence resources free of charge, to the 27 EU nations.
By offering these resources, Microsoft intends to bolster digital sovereignty and address the operational complexities faced by European governments in defending against cyber threats. The initiative underscores Microsoft's commitment to sharing threat intelligence, strengthening cybersecurity capacity, and expanding partnerships to effectively disrupt malicious cyber activities. The free cyber security support will help European governments combat state-sponsored hackers as attacks continue to intensify across the continent.
