Introducing the MSRC Researcher Resource Center
Microsoft partners with the global security researcher community to surface and report security vulnerabilities to protect all users of Microsoft products and services. Researcher submissions help us address immediate threats while also identifying trends and insights to holistically improve the security of our products and services. We’re always looking for ways to build upon this partnership, and with that goal in mind, we are excited to announce the creation of the MSRC Researcher Resource Center.
