Microsoft’s Global Security Operations Center

This week at the Microsoft campus in Redmond, hundreds of law enforcement and public safety officials have gathered for the Worldwide Public Safety Symposium. These attendees had an opportunity to check out one of three Microsoft Global Security Operations Centers (GSOC) that coordinate the security and safety of the companies facilities and 180,000 employees and partners.

GeekWire attended one of the GSOC demos and posted an article and video that gives an inside look at the center in Redmond.

I had the opportunity to see this demonstration a couple months back and I am very impressed at how Microsoft handles security and safety across all of their facilities.  This article and video just scratches the surface of what the GSOC is capable of doing and their dedication to keeping employees and partners safe worldwide.
