April 20, 2022
A NYC area business cybersecurity expert and Microsoft Partner reviews the recent actions of Microsoft intended to aid the cyber-defense of Ukraine in a new article on the eMazzanti Technologies website. The informative article first summarizes a post from Brad Smith, Microsoft President & Vice Chair, that explains how the company is working to help.
The author then discusses the four areas identified by Smith where Microsoft is helping Ukraine in its cyber-war. Those areas are identified as protection from cyber-attacks, protection from state-sponsored disinformation, support for humanitarian aid, and protection of employees.
He continues by discussing a recent court order authorizing Microsoft to take control of seven internet domains used by Strontium, a Russian nation-state actor targeting Ukraine. And he concludes by briefly stating how Microsoftâs actions help others in the cybersecurity community.
âMicrosoft, Ukraine, and cybersecurity have become areas of increasing interest for eMazzanti and its customers,â stated Almi Dumi, CISO, eMazzanti Technologies. âHence, we share this update of Microsoftâs efforts to help.â
Below are a few excerpts from the article, âMicrosoft Ukraine and Cybersecurity - How Microsoft is Helping and What That Means to You.â
Protection from Cyberattacks
âSeveral hours before the launch of missiles or movement of tanks on February 24, Microsoftâs Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) detected a new round of cyberattacks. These offensive and destructive attacks targeted Ukraineâs digital infrastructure.â
Protection from State-Sponsored Disinformation
âMicrosoft is also focused as a company on protecting against state-sponsored disinformation campaigns, which have been common in times of war. In accordance with the EUâs recent decision, the Microsoft Start platform (including MSN.com) will not display any state-sponsored RT and Sputnik content.â
Disrupting Cyberattacks Targeting Ukraine
âOn April 6th, Microsoft obtained a court order authorizing the company to take control of seven internet domains Strontium was using to conduct cyber-attacks. They quickly re-directed these domains to a sinkhole controlled by Microsoft, making them useless and enabling victim notifications.â
Microsoft Ukraine and Cybersecurity Shared
âLong before the invasion of Ukraine, Microsoft had observed destructive malware in systems belonging to several Ukrainian government agencies and connected organizations. They shared this information to help others in the cybersecurity community look out for and defend against these attacks.â
