Microsoft transfers a top cybersecurity exec: As we continue to ..., says internal memo
Image credit: LinkedIn Microsoft has transferred its chief information security officer, Igor Tsyganskiy , out of the company's security organisation , a report claims. This move reportedly suggests the increasing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) at the software giant. Tsyganskiy, whose previous role as CISO involved securing Microsoft's own business and establishing cybersecurity standards company-wide, will now report to Executive VP Scott Guthrie . Guthrie leads Microsoft's Cloud + AI group that manages key operations, including Microsoft's Azure cloud and teams that assist OpenAI and other AI companies in developing and running AI models and chatbots in the cloud. In a recent internal memo (seen by Business Insider), Guthrie wrote: 'As we continue to navigate increasingly complex global threats, the CISO team plays a critical role in safeguarding Microsoft, the Microsoft Cloud, and our customers. They are our first line of defence, and drive our services, products, platforms, and operations to be secure by design and secure by default.' Previously, Tsyganskiy reported to Charlie Bell, the head of Microsoft's Security group, who is responsible for the company's security and compliance efforts, according to a memo seen by Business Insider. Tsyganskiy started his role of Microsoft's CISO in January 2024. At the time, Bell praised him in an internal memo (viewed by BI), calling him a 'technologist and dynamic leader with a storied career in high-scale/high-security, demanding environments.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo What Microsoft said about transferring top cybersecurity executive In a statement to the publication, Microsoft spokesperson Frank Shaw said the change brings Tsyganskiy's organisation closer to the systems it is responsible for safeguarding. "The CISO organisation is focused on protecting Microsoft and our customers and being customer zero for our security products. Moving the team to Cloud + AI puts them closer to the engineering systems they secure, deepens integration with platform development, and strengthens our ability to see and stop emerging threats,' Shaw added Shaw also noted that Tsyganskiy's team will maintain close collaboration with Microsoft Security "to ensure our solutions reflect real-world enterprise needs." This move marks another shift in Microsoft's evolving security strategy following several notable challenges in recent years. In 2022, the company brought in Bell from Amazon to lead a new cybersecurity organisation, but issues have persisted. Last year, after the Department of Homeland Security criticised Microsoft for "a cascade of security failures" that allowed Chinese hackers to access customer emails, the company expanded its Secure Future Initiative, making security a company-wide priority and a factor in employee performance reviews.

Microsoft transfers a top cybersecurity executive out of the company's security group, internal memo shows
Microsoft transferred its chief information security officer out of the company's security organization, in a move that hints at the growing importance of artificial intelligence at the software giant. As CISO, Igor Tsyganskiy, is responsible for securing Microsoft's own business, and setting cybersecurity standards across the company. He will now report to EVP Scott Guthrie, who runs Microsoft's Cloud + AI group. This is the organization that runs important business like Microsoft's Azure cloud and the teams that help OpenAI and other AI companies develop and run giant AI models and chatbots in the cloud. "As we continue to navigate increasingly complex global threats, the CISO team plays a critical role in safeguarding Microsoft, the Microsoft Cloud, and our customers," Guthrie wrote in the recent memo. "They are our first line of defense, and drive our services, products, platforms, and operations to be secure by design and secure by default." Tsyganskiy previously reported to the head of the Security group, Charlie Bell, who oversees all of Microsoft's security and compliance, according to a memo viewed by Business Insider. This is an illustration of how important AI is becoming to Microsoft. Spokesman Frank Shaw said the move gets Tsyganskiy's organization closer to the systems it helps protect. "The CISO organization is focused on protecting Microsoft and our customers and being customer zero for our security products," Shaw said. "Moving the team to Cloud + AI puts them closer to the engineering systems they secure, deepens integration with platform development, and strengthens our ability to see and stop emerging threats." Tsyganskiy's team will continue working closely with Microsoft Security "to ensure our solutions reflect real-world enterprise needs," Shaw added. The move is also the latest change in Microsoft's approach to security after some high-profile challenges in recent years. Microsoft recruited Bell from Amazon to run a new cybersecurity organization in 2022, but the company has still had struggles. The Department of Homeland Security last year condemned Microsoft for what it called "a cascade of security failures" that allowed Chinese hackers to access emails from thousands of customers. Microsoft expanded its Secure Future Initiative last year, making security the top priority for every employee, including adding making security a metric on which employees are evaluated during performance reviews. Tsyganskiy became Microsoft's CISO in January 2024. Bell praised him in an internal memo viewed by BI at the time, saying he was a "technologist and dynamic leader with a storied career in high-scale/high-security, demanding environments."
