The company has invited the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to attend a "detailed technical briefing" on SFI and Microsoft's other engineering objectives to explain "the specific ways we are implementing the CSRB’s recommendations," Smith said.

Although he acknowledged that Microsoft has "by far the first and greatest responsibility" to heed the CSRB's report, "no single company can protect a country and other nations from what is emerging as a cyberwar waged by four aggressive governments," Smith said.

Smith suggested that the committee members could "do more in support of cyber defense" by funding critical cybersecurity programs, strengthening countermeasures, and "imposing appropriate punishment" and heavy fines to deter malicious activity.

The spokesperson further explained that Microsoft historically has prioritized its "security response work by considering potential customer disruption, exploitability, and available mitigations.”

“We continue to listen to the security research community and evolve our approach to ensure we are meeting customer expectations and protecting them from emerging threats,” Microsoft's spokesperson said.

"We accept responsibility for the past and are applying what we’ve learned to help build a more secure future," Smith said, vowing that Microsoft would soon "establish stronger multi-layered defenses to counter the most sophisticated and well-resourced nation-state actors."
