Microsoft is overhauling its security processes after a series of high-profile attacks in recent years. Security is now Microsoft’s “top priority,” the company outlined today in response to ongoing questions about its security practices and the US Cyber Safety Review Board’s labeling of Microsoft’s security culture as “inadequate.”

This the text of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's internal memo sent to employees Friday, May 3, about the company's new security initiatives.

Two high-profile breaches at the company prompt Microsoft to overhaul its approach to security, including compensating executives who meet their security goals.

Microsoft is making security its “top priority” as it's currently facing cyberattacks that are becoming increasingly sophisticated.
