Employee: Microsoft gives us a 50% "discount" vs the competition but they may get hacked easier.. incentive brain mode: if i save 50%, I may get a raise. If MS gets hacked, then "everyone suffers, so it's not like I'll get the blame for this decision"... Azure 100%!!!
I'm not terribly sure if it's really more MS lack of security posture vs. being a big target as they hold a lot of juicy government targets, etc.. so my comment isn't really to beat up on MS because who knows the key flaw that got them inside yet?
It's definitely their lack of security posture. Their being a big target also doesn't help, but their shithouse attitude and practises is probably their main problem.
Yes, but will the enterprise world flinch an eye? Whoever chooses microsoft for their enterprise stuff do not care about security, as long as it’s not their direct fault directly in cases of customer data breaches they feel safe: “oh, Microsoft got hacked not us”. It’s like nobody gets fired for buying IBM all over again.
