Technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are becoming more essential for businesses and individuals at an accelerating pace. Digital transformation is now commonplace, and applications and data are moving to the cloud. However, there are also more skilled and motivated attackers who can take advantage as this digital surface area increases. In Microsoft Security, our mission is to make the world a safe place for all - and Identity is the key entry point, not only allowing access to all these apps, devices and data, but also being the main target for these attackers.
