We acknowledge that security is truly a team sport. Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, made this announcement during his keynote speech. "And that is the reason we wish to collaborate, and we are collaborating widely with the security community."When the news is made public, a challenge is issued, inviting participants to discover vulnerabilities in specific scenarios in exchange for a bounty. They could be able to attend next year's onsite hacking event in Redmond, Washington. The contest will be open until January 19, 2025, with entries beginning November 19, 2024.

Microsoft has also stated that it will treble bounty incentives for security researchers who find AI vulnerabilities and gain direct access to the company's AI developers and AI Red Team.In a blog post, Microsoft Security Response Center Vice President of Engineering Tom Gallagher stated, "Zero Day Quest will provide new opportunities for the security community to collaborate with Microsoft engineers and security researchers -- bringing together the best minds in security to share, learn, and build community as we work to keep everyone safe." 

Zero Day Quest will create new possibilities for "the security community to collaborate with Microsoft engineers and security researchers," Gallagher said, describing the event as the "largest of its kind."Microsoft's cybersecurity procedures have recently come under scrutiny after it was revealed that Chinese hackers entered the Microsoft Exchange Online email service and stole over 60,000 emails from US State Department accounts.
