Google attacks Microsoft, says its technology makes customers less safe
In a blog post, Google attacked Microsoft, saying its technology makes customers less secure. Google claims so through the results of a public survey conducted by Google itself. The survey polled 2,600 US employees, 338 of whom worked for the government in a variety of positions.
The survey included questions on various topics, including cybersecurity, legacy software, and organizations’ purchasing habits, but also some questions related to Microsoft.
According to the results, 84% of government employees in Washington use Microsoft services such as Teams, Word, Outlook and OneDrive. The majority of respondents confirmed that the government’s reliance on Microsoft technology makes them vulnerable to cyber security incidents such as hacker attacks.
Google continued to attack Microsoft by implying that the company’s technology is really old and that the only reason organizations don’t switch to newer vendors is because of their unwillingness to adapt to the new.
The majority of respondents confirmed that the government’s reliance on Microsoft technology makes them vulnerable to cyber security incidents such as hacker attacks.
Nearly half of the respondents also said that there are other products that allow them to work better. Google says this will lead to a harmful trend in which workers sneakily use unapproved software to be more productive at their companies.
In a final note, Google added that organizations need to rethink their software purchasing strategy.
Talking to NBC News, Microsoft expressed disappointment about Google’s aggressive tactics but stated that it is not surprising to see competitors use this method to promote products. Microsoft says that it will continue to support the US government and its other customers with “best in class security software and services”.
