Abstract
The Digital Threat Analysis Center (DTAC) is made up of a team of experts analyzing both cyber and influence operations of nation-state and non-state actors in the information space. It is focused on detecting and disrupting digital threats to Microsoft, its customers, and democracies worldwide. Using an audience-based, rather than simply geographical, approach, DTAC’s experts analyze targeting and tactical trends that assist Microsoft and its global partners in better understanding and combating the world’s most serious cyber threats.
