Q. Why is Microsoft investing in tools, technologies and training for law enforcement?
A.
These programs are just the latest example of Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to helping to create a safer, more trusted Internet experience for everyone, not just Microsoft’s customers. As a company, we believe that public-private partnerships are essential to address the increasing complexities of cybercrime; no one can do it alone. One of the things we hear from government and law enforcement officials is that they need access to the latest training and they need better tools that can aid in sharing information between different agencies. Microsoft provides law enforcement with resources, expertise and information to help them to prosecute cybercrime, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because it also helps keep the Internet safer.
