The company adopted this decision after the investigation of Propublica, which referred to the involvement of Chinese experts in supporting cloudy Pentagon cloud services, which could potentially create risks to US cybersecurity.
According to Microsoft Frank Shaw, the company has changed the approach to the technical support of US government clients to ensure that no engineering team from China will no longer have access to projects related to the Ministry of Defense or other government agencies. Previously, Chinese engineers worked under the remote control of the so -called “digital attendants” with the United States, which often had lower technical qualifications.
Azure is one of the key sources of Microsoft income and brings more than a quarter of the company’s total profit. In 2019, Microsoft won a $ 10 billion pentagon contract, but was canceled in 2021. In 2022, the company received new cloud contracts with Amazon, Google and Oracle totaling up to $ 9 billion.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset called the situation “unacceptable” and promised to review other systems for similar risks. Microsoft, in turn, assured that she would continue to work with the US government, adapting its safety protocols according to threats.
