Microsoft collaborates with the worldwide security research community to uncover and report security weaknesses to safeguard all users of Microsoft products and services. Investigator submissions assist us in handling immediate risks while also pinpointing trends and insights to comprehensively enhance the security of our products and services. We are constantly seeking ways to expand on this partnership, and with that objective, we are thrilled to introduce the establishment of the MSRC Investigator Resource Hub.
