The Microsoft Summit led companies from competition to cooperation for the benefit of humanity.
On September 10, the Windows Security Ecosystem for Endpoint Summit brought together leading cybersecurity vendors and government representatives from the United States and Europe. The main goal of the forum, which included Broadcom, CrowdStrike, ESET and others, was to discuss strategies to increase resilience and protect critical infrastructure from both vendors and their customers. The event has become an important platform for exchanging views and finding common solutions to improve safety.
The importance of the meeting was highlighted in light of the recent CrowdStrike incident, which highlighted the importance of both protection and flexibility in security. This case is a reminder that cybersecurity vendors have a special responsibility to protect customers. The active participation of the summit participants confirmed their readiness to work on improving these aspects.
One of the main conclusions of the meeting was the recognition of the need to choose among various security products for Windows. Participants noted that the variety of products available on the market contributes to increased resilience and flexibility for both suppliers and their customers. Discussions focused on the open exchange of information on how solutions work, how updates are carried out, and how possible failures are resolved, which was a key element in improving overall protection.
In the short term, initiatives to improve customer security were discussed. One of the central points was the exchange of experience on the application of the Safe Deployment Practices (SDP), which are already actively used in Microsoft and its partners. Best practices based on the gradual rollout of updates were discussed, which helps minimize risks and increase the resilience of the Windows ecosystem.
In addition, measures were proposed to enhance collaboration among solution providers. Proposed initiatives include improving the testing of critical components, increasing product interoperability, and strengthening coordination during incidents for faster response and recovery.
The summit also discussed long-term measures, including the development of new features of the Windows platform based on existing investments in Windows 11 security. Windows 11's improved security and new capabilities outside of kernel mode enable more robust and affordable solutions for cybersecurity providers. Participants discussed the challenges and requirements related to performance, tamper-proofing, and security sensor requirements.
In addition to discussions within the industry, participants made a number of recommendations for customers to increase the resilience of their infrastructures. Companies can take practical steps, including developing business continuity plans, major incident response plans, and regular data backups, to help minimize risk and improve the reliability of their systems.
At the end of the summit, it was emphasized that, despite the competition between companies, the main goal remains protection against real cyber threats. Collaboration between security vendors is critical to creating a more robust and secure ecosystem that can more effectively counter today's cyber threats.
