Microsoft brought a message of collaboration and resilience to GISEC 2023, where the company participated as a Strategic Partner and staged a headlining showcase that has the potential to revolutionize policing.
Naim Yazbeck, General Manager of Microsoft UAE said “Microsoft Security recently surpassed a $20-billion revenue milestone – the clearest signal yet that we are on the right track in protecting our customers from cyber threats.”
Yazbeck added “We treat security as a team sport, which has become even more important as we embrace the world of hybrid work. In the latter half of 2022, we launched more than 300 product innovations to help organizations stay ahead of evolving threats.”
Microsoft will be demonstrating cutting-edge mixed reality experiences with HoloLens 2 at GISEC this year, powered by Microsoft Azure’s dependability, scalability, and most importantly security. A combination of the physical and digital worlds, mixed reality uses holograms to represent digital data and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to react to commands and interact with real-world objects in real time. By combining Mixed Reality, IoT, and AI, Microsoft and DXC Technology will unleash the potential of the industrial metaverse and provide a cutting-edge strategy for crime scene investigation through data forensics and incident response.
Visitors will have the opportunity to engage in a simulation of a crime scene investigation, assuming the role of law enforcement personnel. Through this immersive experience, they will witness the process of placing digital markers, tracing three-dimensional objects, collecting various types of multimedia evidence, and using virtual technology to return to the scene of the crime at any given time. This demonstration will highlight the benefits of collaborative efforts and how they can improve the outcome of a case.
Yazbeck said “Microsoft’s security solutions ecosystem, which includes our more than 15,000 trusted partners, touches on a broad range of use cases, including modern policing.”
He commented “Our security capabilities have expanded to synthesize 65 trillion signals a day, across device types, apps, and platforms. That gives us unparalleled visibility of the threat landscape. We shall continue to leverage that visibility to protect our customers. GISEC is the ideal platform for us to demonstrate those capabilities and to assure our customers that together we can deliver resilience and safety for all our digital estates.”
Microsoft will exhibit with ten partners at GISEC 2023: Help AG, Bespin, Wipro, BPS, Rubrik, Celebal Technologies, Techvista, HyperNym, F5, and Paramount.
