Microsoft Invests $1 Billion In 'Holistic' Security Strategy

ancientribe writes: Microsoft over the past year has invested $1 billion in security and doubled its number of security executives, the company's CISO Bret Arsenault told Dark Reading. CEO Satya Nadella today officially announced the launch of a new managed security services group and a new cyber defense operations center — all part of its new strategy of holistic and integrated security across its products and services. Microsoft execs rarely detail the company's strategy so publicly, so that in itself underlines how security is a major element in its strategy.
