"So what happened, for example in the Ukrainian case,
we were able to, because of our cyber capability, because of the trillions of
signals we see long before, quite frankly, the attack started, the Russian
activity on critical Ukrainian infrastructure," the Microsoft CEO said.
"And we were able to work then with the Ukrainian
government to really evacuate them effectively into our cloud and protect
them," he added.
"... because our stance is that we will always be there
for any partner of ours in their defence. And so we're going to use both our
security products, as well as our security signal, to ensure that we protect
any organisation that is under attack and publish all of that information so
that it can be broadly shared," he added.
Nadella said cyber is a place where multiple stakeholders
can come together to improve the cyber readiness of all of our organisations.
"I think it is going to be very, very important. This
is between governments and private organisations and between private
organisations across the globe," he said.
Asked about key conclusions of the Ukraine analysis, Nadella
said, "The key conclusions were that you have multiple cyber actors,
sponsored in this case by the state, going after critical infrastructure that
can completely compromise the functioning of a government or the broader
society." Also, the weakest link can be exploited to then hit hard at
everything else and that's an issue with the connected world, he warned.
"There is no such thing as an isolated system. So, one
weak link. That's why even in the United States, we care so much about every
municipality, every state has to be protected, because otherwise you can start
with an attack in one small place and it can easily spread," he said.
