Microsoft has made its coronavirus threat data available to help understand cybercriminals’ shifting techniques.
Cybercriminals continue to use the coronavirus as a lure to launch cyberattacks against both businesses and individuals which is why Microsoft has decided to open source its Covid-19 threat intelligence.
By sharing information that provides a more complete view of hackers’ shifting techniques, the entire security intelligence community can be more proactive in protecting, detecting and defending against these attacks.
Microsoft’s own security products, such as its Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), already provide built-in protection against these and other threats, though the company has published detailed guidance in a blog post titled “Responding to COVID-19 together” in order to help organizations combat them as well.
