Security Partners

Security is a top priority both for Microsoft and for our solutions partners. Partners that have achieved the Microsoft Security Solutions Competency have proven their proficiency in using Microsoft technology to provide security solutions that help protect your information assets.

You can help protect the data and applications on your computer by using and updating your antivirus software. Antivirus software is available from a variety of Microsoft partners.

Microsoft has formed the Microsoft Security Response Alliance (MSRA), the latest evolution in Microsoft's efforts to build strong alliances with partners in the security response ecosystem. These alliances provide the baseline framework for how to build strong, valuable alliances that allow security response and research with multiple partners, vendors, governments, and infrastructure providers to collaborate in a more secure and timely manner.

To address security challenges over the long term, software companies must collaborate more closely; Microsoft is committed to enabling this collaboration and is working with industry leaders, governments, and other key stakeholders to address the challenges of information technology security. The SecureIT Alliance is a Web-enabled collaboration forum between partners to help members build innovative security solutions and to communicate with customers about security solutions and partnerships.
