Security represents the most critical priorities for our customers in a world awash in digital threats, regulatory scrutiny, and estate complexity. Microsoft Security aspires to make the world a safer place for all. We want to reshape security and empower every user, customer, and developer with a security cloud that protects them with end to end, simplified solutions. The Microsoft Security organization accelerates Microsoft’s mission and bold ambitions to ensure that our company and industry is securing digital technology platforms, devices, and clouds in our customers’ heterogeneous environments, as well as ensuring the security of our own internal estate. Our culture is centered on embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day. In doing so, we create life-changing innovations that impact billions of lives around the world.

One of the top security challenges customers have, is to understand ahead of time potential attack paths that can happen in their systems, the actual risk vulnerable assets and entities impose and identify points of failure. We come to solve all of that and surface this knowledge through a wide set of Microsoft security products.

Our strategic platform is based on a knowledge graph built to represent the digital assets and their connections which is the base for deriving smart knowledge, insights and calculation of attack paths, blast radius, chock points and more. This graph is built from tens of billions of daily events collected from various products, first parties and 3rd parties altogether. The platform is in use in different Microsoft security products and plans to expand and grow to new horizons. The challenges span over handling large volumes of data, complex calculations of derived insights, new capabilities and modeling the ever-growing digital world into a coherent knowledge graph. We’re a diverse group of talented professionals consisting of software engineers, security researchers, program managers and data scientists collaborating to develop a security platform that secure our customers, including the biggest companies in the world.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
