Microsoft Security has now surpassed $20 billion in annual revenue, making the business what one analyst calls a “serious contender” in various parts of the cyber market.
Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO, highlighted the milestone during this week’s third-quarter fiscal year 2023 earnings call. Revenue from Microsoft Security totaled $10 billion in 2021 and $15 billion in 2022.
Vasu Jakkal is Microsoft‘s corporate vice president of security. She made waves by saying that Microsoft has an “unparalleled” view of the evolving threat landscape.
“With industry-leading artificial intelligence (AI), we synthesize 65 trillion signals a day — across all types of devices, apps, platforms and endpoints — a nearly eight times increase from the 8 trillion daily signals captured just two years ago,” she said. “And we apply the learnings from that signal intelligence, as well as from our world-class threat intelligence, into all the products and services we offer. Furthermore, we now have more than 15,000 partners working with us across our security ecosystem helping to bring better solutions and more choices to market.”
