Microsoft ties executive pay to security following multiple failures and breaches

Microsoft has faced several security breaches and privacy concerns in recent years, causing criticism from various parties. The breaches included a China-based hacking group accessing data from Microsoft's Azure service and a Russian state-sponsored group compromising the company's systems. In response, Microsoft has introduced the "Secure Future Initiative" to prioritize security. The company aims to improve security practices, implement multifactor authentication, enforce least-privilege access, enhance network monitoring, and retain security logs. Senior executives' pay will also be tied to meeting security goals. CEO Satya Nadella stressed the importance of prioritizing security over adding new features.
