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.

Effective protection against malicious adversaries requires a deeply connected understanding of enterprises’ diverse digital estate, rich Threat Intelligence (TI), and knowledge of all user and system interactions; yet few organizations have this. It’s a formidable and continuously expanding problem. An organization’s rapidly changing networks, systems, identities, devices, and applications has led to significantly higher security data volumes, increasing numbers of data silos and unanticipated blind spots; a phenomenon beyond human scale that has challenged existing solutions and is the breeding ground for cyber-attacks. To deal with this challenge security developers (security ISVs, enterprise developers, MSSPs, SIs, detection engineers, security researchers) are saddled with the tedious and time-consuming task of solving data engineering problems as a prerequisite to building protection. They spend weeks learning a multitude of new APIs and try to figure out how to cost-effectively find, move, store, normalize, retain, govern and compliantly use growing volumes of security data.

To enable security developers to operate with precision, speed and agility, our Security Platforms and Ecosystem Team is building an end-to-end analytics and data substrate to unify all an organization’s security data into an extensible connected graph with open APIs. We will make it easier for developers in the security ecosystem to build solutions and AI agents on this connected graph. Our solution with make it easier for customers of Microsoft Security products (Sentinel, Defender, Purview, Priva, Intune, Entra etc.) to deploy AI agents that can operate on security data end-to-end. We are hiring an IC Principal Product Manager to help define and deliver our solution.

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.
