AIUB signs Security Cooperation Program Agreement with Microsoft

Microsoft today announced that the American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) has joined the
Security Cooperation Program (SCP) for Educational Institutions. 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. The Security Cooperation Program for Educational Institutions is a specific program
under the umbrella of the broader SCP; and AIUB became the first University, outside USA, to sign up for
this prestigious program.
