- Hello, my name's Jonathan Trull,
I'm the General Manager
of Microsoft Cybersecurity Business.
First thanks for all that you do,
you have a difficult job.
Your organizations provide critical services
for those in your area that you support.
We're here to help provide solutions,
to keep your organizations focused on what's most important.
We have cybersecurity solutions that are dedicated
to preventing the attacks that we're seeing regularly today.
We're living in unprecedented times.
We've seen a huge uptake in ransomware attacks
and specifically attacks that are targeted
against public organizations.
Those that are providing critical
infrastructure and services,
like 911 systems
election systems, ports, all of these
are being targeted
because criminals know if they take
down those operations,
they're so critical that oftentimes
the organizations have no choice,
but to pay the ransom.
We're also seeing nation state attackers,
that are obviously interested
in these critical services as well.
With that,
Microsoft has developed a suite of technologies
and underlying productivity solutions
and Cloud solutions,
that are secure from day one.
The security is built in, to those solutions.
Things like Microsoft,
Defender Advanced Threat Protection.
This is built into Windows 10
and our other operating systems.
It helps protect those police officers,
firefighters 911 operators,
those who are using their PC's every day,
from these advanced attackers.
We also have Advanced Threat Protection solutions built
into our email solution.
So that we stop those malicious attachments
or those links that are trying to lure your users
to click and then go to a malicious website.
We also have solutions that are dedicated
to ensuring that your authentication
and authorization attempts
for your users,
and their identities are secure.
Attackers continue to try to go
after the username
and password it's the weakest link.
And we've embedded things like Windows Hello
for business ,
so that you can use biometrics.
Which is much more secure than a username and password.
We also have a technology that includes,
machine learning
and artificial intelligence,
to identify situations where a user's name
and password has been compromised.
It uses things to identify what we call Impossible Travel,
for example, where a user might've logged
in from Denver, Colorado,
and then 30 minutes later,
they're trying to log in from a country in Europe.
This would automatically be blocked
and prevent it from happening,
because it would be impossible
for that to travel that distance.
In that amount of time,
This helps us really stop these advanced attacks
from occurring.
We've also partnered
with some unique companies that
are really building significant advancements
and things like 911 systems on our infrastructure.
For example, we partnered
with a company called RapidDeploy.
They built a modern 911 system on Azure,
and they chose Azure,
because of the security, privacy
and all of the advanced security technology
that we can bring to bear
to protect those systems.
They also use a technology called Azure Sentinel,
to run all of their security operations,
because it's efficient,
It's easy to get up
and running quickly,
and they need very few staff to monitor
and triage these alerts
because of the intelligence
that we brought into that solution.
So we're here to be the solution provider
of choice for you,
both for your productivity suite,
to build on Azure, to use things
like Microsoft Dynamics,
and you can feel confident
that we built the right security controls
in place to stop even the most advanced attackers.
So we're here to partner with you.
We know you have a tough job
and we're excited to support you
in your journey and your mission.
Thank you very much.
And I hope you have a great day.
