Microsoft Security360 show goes global

Microsoft is reaching out beyond English speakers in Security360, its monthly security Webcast. The shows have been translated into French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Korean, traditional Mandarin, Castilian Spanish and Latin American Spanish, the company said Tuesday. The localized episodes will be made available online this month. Security360 started in September last year. More than 28,000 people have tuned in since, according to Microsoft figures.

Each Security360 episode lasts one hour and focuses on a specific security topic, such as phishing, e-mail security and compliance. The shows are hosted by Mike Nash, the head of Microsoft's Security Business & Technology Unit, and include a studio interview, a roundtable and some recommendations and resources for users. The last Security360 show of the season was Webcast on Tuesday. The series will resume in September.
