Microsoft Signs Renewed Cybersecurity Agreement With NATO

Posted by samzenpus on from the sign-on-the-dotted-line dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Microsoft and NATO have renewed a cybersecurity partnership. The agreement is part of Microsoft's Government Security Program (GSP) which allows worldwide federal bodies controlled access to Microsoft source code. PCWorld reports: "Since its inception, the GSP has grown to encompass a bunch of other types of information, especially over the past few years. With the new agreement, NATO will get controlled online access to source code for key Microsoft products including Windows and Office; information about Microsoft's cloud services, and intelligence about cybersecurity threats."

    Governments also have access to Linux source code, so I guess we shouldn't trust Linux either?
