Overview Security represents the most critical priorities for our customers in a world awash in digital threats, regulatory scrutiny, and estate complexity. Microsoft Security aspires to make the world a safer place for all. We want to reshape security and empower every user, customer, and developer with a security cloud that protects them with end-to-end, simplified solutions. The Microsoft Security organization accelerates Microsoft's mission and bold ambitions to ensure that our company and industry is securing digital technology platforms, devices, and clouds in our customers' heterogeneous environments, as well as ensuring the security of our own internal estate. Our culture is centered on embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day. In doing so, we create life-changing innovations that impact billions of lives around the world. Email, chat, and the web are an integral part of our everyday lives. They are essential for communication and productivity while also providing the primary ways cybercriminals exploit victims and infiltrate organizations. Attackers abuse these communication methods to steal identities through phishing, hold critical assets for ransom, inflict financial harm, disrupt business operations through floods of unsolicited email, and install malicious software. Do you want to join a team dedicated to protecting hundreds of millions of people from these threats? At Microsoft Security, our mission is to make the world a safer place for all. The Messaging and Web Security Research team is a global, multidisciplinary organization of engineers, data scientists, security researchers, and program managers. With an unparalleled view of the threat landscape, we develop deep expertise in attacker techniques and use that knowledge to fuel innovations using the latest technologies. We protect customers using Outlook.com, Microsoft Defender for O365, Microsoft Edge, and much more.

Creating protections for this fast-paced, highly dynamic, and high-volume problem space will require full use of our unique data visibility and detection capabilities to provide immediate large-scale impact every day. Together, we are redefining email and web security using the latest technology, unparalleled data and intelligence systems, and a collaborative and inclusive team culture. Join us and make a difference in our mission to empower everyone to communicate with confidence and trust! Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees, we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
