I want to use this blog to provide an update on Microsoft’s actions, building on the blog we shared earlier this week.

We’ve recently applied our capability with RiskIQ to look “outside in” to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities in Ukrainian government systems.These funds are provided to key NGOs with the mission of helping Ukrainians. Microsoft employee donations are being matched by the company 2:1, resulting in more than $13.5 million raised to date in support of organizations working both within Ukraine and supporting refugees who have fled to neighboring countries.This includes more than $18 million worth of Microsoft technology to help organizations such as the Polish Humanitarian Action respond to critical needs and others providing services on the ground.
