In recent years, the cybersecurity threat landscape has experienced a paradigm shift. With cyberattacks becoming increasingly sophisticated and more people communicating and sharing material online, cybersecurity has become a top priority for everyone. At Microsoft, we recognize the unique responsibility we have in safeguarding the future for our customers and community. From our Secure Future Initiative, one of the largest cybersecurity engineering efforts in history, to using AI as a security gamechanger with Security Copilot, we’re prioritizing security above all else.
