Man and woman shaking hands
Even Facebook is a member of the Cybersecurity Tech Accord. But as we also said at RSA past year, the first step in creating a safer internet must come from our own industry, the enterprises that create and operate the world's online technologies and infrastructure.
The Cybersecurity Tech Accord, which vows to protect all customers from attacks regardless of geopolitical or criminal motive, follows a year that witnessed an unprecedented level of destructive cyber attacks, including the global WannaCry worm and the devastating NotPetya attack.
We will design, develop, and deliver products and services that prioritize security, privacy, integrity and reliability, and in turn reduce the likelihood, frequency, exploitability, and severity of vulnerabilities. This includes stronger protections of democratic institutions and processes around the world.
The Tech Accord signatories committed to empowering developers, users, and businesses that use their technology to improve their capacity for protecting themselves.
Oppose cyberattacks on innocent citizens and enterprises from anywhere.
Microsoft and Facebook are leading an initiative to improve the "security, stability and resilience of cyberspace" - as well as to aid any country that falls victim to cyberattacks.

Deadline extended one day after IRS systems experience problems on Tax Day
To fix the problem, the newspaper reports the IRS will attempt the tried and true method of hitting restart on the system. It's also the deadline for business owners and freelancers to pay their estimated taxes for the first quarter of 2018.
One of the major points of the agreement was the organizations pledge to protect users under the "No Offense" category from the governments that want to launch cyberattacks against innocent citizens and enterprises. The companies commit to provide their users, customers, and developers with information and tools to understand and protect against cybersecurity threats, and to support civil society, governments, and worldwide organizations to advance cybersecurity globally.
Lastly, they plan to establish "partnerships with industry, civil society and security researchers to improve technical collaboration, coordinate vulnerability disclosures, share threats and minimize the potential for malicious code to be introduced into cyberspace".
We will encourage global information sharing and civilian efforts to identify, prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from cyberattacks and ensure flexible responses to security of the wider global technology ecosystem. This tech sector accord will help us take a principled path towards more effective steps to work together and defend customers around the world. The announcement was spearheaded by Brad Smith, president and chief legal officer of Microsoft.
More than 30 leading tech companies launched a new cybersecurity accord Tuesday in the hopes of one day inspiring a "Digital Geneva Convention" that would adapt worldwide law to defend against malicious actors online.
The Tech Accord remains open to consideration of new private sector signatories, large or small and regardless of sector, who are trusted, have high cybersecurity standards and will adhere unreservedly to the Accord's principles.
