The digital transformation
has created an explosion of data,
regulatory uncertainty,
and ever-increasing cybersecurity threats.
To thrive in this new landscape,
you need a partner who can help address these challenges.
(Audience applause)
It really starts with trust.
Trust isn't something you count on,
it's something you have to earn.
At Microsoft,
we've embraced the responsibility to handle data securely,
privately, and in compliance with relevant laws,
to help create a safer world where organizations
can be empowered by a digital transformation.
If we can't protect people,
then we don't deserve their trust.
Our intelligent security solutions
are backed by billions of dollars
in research and development,
to provide security through technology, operations,
policies, and partnerships.
We recognize that privacy
is both a fundamental human right
and a critical enterprise need.
Microsoft maintains a timeless value
of privacy,
recognizing that our customer's data is not our data,
so you know you can control your data as needed.
We are the only company in our industry
to say you can be a customer anywhere,
we will extend the rights
of GDPR fully to you.
We are often the first to adopt
new privacy standards,
and partner with industry leaders and government bodies
around the world
to anticipate future compliance requirements.
Our Trust Center is just one of the various resources
available to help you learn more about how we enable you
to manage your data.
At the end of the day
we will be measured not
by the speeches we give,
but the work that we do.
That is a principle worth standing for.
