Microsoft has launched a pilot program aimed at providing cybersecurity protection for political campaigns and election authorities.
The pilot program —named AccountGuard— was launched at the end of July, Bleeping Computer has learned, and was set in motion for the 2018 US midterm elections.
According to the pilot’s website, AccountGuard “provides additional security and threat monitoring for Microsoft accounts belonging to participating US campaigns, political committees, campaign tech vendors, and their staff, who are likely to be at a higher risk in the lead up to elections.”
I am glad to see Microsoft as a lot of other major tech companies doing their part. I wonder if they will do anything for Bing.
