Microsoft ties executive pay to security after multiple failures and breaches


Microsoft has been criticized for "preventable" failures and poor communication.

The group was able "to compromise a legacy non-production test tenant account" to gain access to Microsoft's systems for "as long as two months." "We’re expanding the scope of SFI, integrating the recent recommendations from the CSRB as well as our learnings from Midnight Blizzard to ensure that our cybersecurity approach remains robust and adaptive to the evolving threat landscape." Nadella also says that improving security should be prioritized over adding new features, something that may affect the constant stream of tweaks and changes that Microsoft releases for Windows 11 and other software.
