Every Microsoft employee is now being judged on their security work

Security is now officially a top priority inside Microsoft. Employees now have to show how they’re making a security impact for their performance reviews.

@verge so, make security the biggest priority. I bet the second that gets in the way of pushing AI into something it’ll be forgotten about.

Also, making employees wages and bonuses dependent on this is a great way to get a half arsed implementation that meets the bare minimum necessary for performance review.

@verge LOL, ironically when I worked there I tried to achieve this, no one listened nor cared - all that matters is the bottom dollar. MSFT is a sales organization, never mistake that - they care about the $$. If they cared about security, they would let engineers have technical conversations with clients instead of sending sales people one after the next until the pipeline is full of leads.
