Microsoft to Invest $700 Million in Polish Cybersecurity

Microsoft is further bolstering Poland's cyber defenses with a $700 million investment, as reported by Reuters. The investment is intended to enhance the country's cybersecurity capabilities in cooperation with the Polish Armed Forces.

The investment will be allocated towards the second phase of the previously announced $1 billion Polish data center project, revealed Microsoft President Brad Smith in a joint press conference with Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
