Through the SCP, Microsoft provides a structured way for governments and Microsoft to engage in cooperative security activities in the areas of computer incident response, attack mitigation, and citizen outreach. The goal of the SCP is to help governments address threats to national security, economic strength, and public safety more efficiently and effectively through cooperative projects and information sharing. This program was launched in February 2005 with global participation; and a government entity from Bangladesh signed an agreement with Microsoft in May 2007.
