Microsoft is set to open a new cybersecurity center in Mexico, called the Cybersecurity Engagement Center.
The Cybersecurity Engagement Center will work with Microsoft's Cybercrime Center in Redmond, Wash., to assist governments and companies in Latin American countries with their cybersecurity efforts. The center has a focus in dismantling criminal organizations that operate through Botnet schemes.
Microsoft has also entered an agreement with the Federal Police in Mexico, which was signed by Manelich Castilla, commissioner general of the Federal Police, and Jorge Silva, general manager of Microsoft Mexico.
"At Microsoft, we are committed to invest in the region so we can bring our cybersecurity capabilities to customers by identifying current threats that affect the economy's prosperity," said Mr. Silva. "By opening this Cybersecurity Center, we are offering our clients protection from attacks and security risks, as well as ways to detect them and find solutions."
