These leaders work in tandem with product and engineering leaders across the company to create accountability and advance cybersecurity protection for Microsoft, our customers, and the industry.<\/p>\n<p>In this series, we will introduce these leaders and share more about their background, their role, and their priorities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"732\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"Microsoft\u2019s Deputy Chief Information Officers from top to bottom: Yonatan Zunger, CVP and Deputy Chief Information Security Officer, Artificial Intelligence, Igor Sakhov, CVP and Deputy Chief Information Security Officer, Identity, and Mark Russinovich, Technical Fellow, Azure Chief Technology Officer and Deputy Chief Information Security Officer, Azure.\" class=\"wp-image-138270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Picture1.jpg 732w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Picture1-300x134.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"q-tell-us-about-your-current-role-and-responsibilities\">Q: Tell us about your current role and responsibilities.<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Igor Sakhnov<\/strong>: \u201cAs Microsoft\u2019s Corporate Vice President of Engineering for Identity, I lead data and platform engineering along with business-facing initiatives. Since April 2024, I\u2019ve also served as Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) focusing on identity-related security risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Russinovich<\/strong>: \u201cIn my role, I work with a large team to identify and resolve the security risks that come up and evolve under the <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Azure<\/a> umbrella, the core operating system itself, and the groups that make up the core engineering systems that the entire company depends on. In all these cases, we want the risk mitigations to be durable so once they\u2019re done, the system stays secure and doesn\u2019t have to be revisited every year.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><strong>Yonatan Zunger<\/strong>: \u201cMy job is to try and think about all the different ways in which things involving AI can go wrong, make sure that we have good, thoughtful plans for each of those things, and develop the right tools so we can design and run the right incident response for AI issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"q-how-did-you-get-your-start-in-cybersecurity\">Q: How did you get your start in cybersecurity?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Igor Sakhnov<\/strong>: \u201cIt didn\u2019t really start in cybersecurity. My journey began with a deep interest in understanding how systems work and how they interact and perform at scale. Inevitably, the hard question of security surfaces and the interesting aspects of detection and prevention become top of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Russinovich<\/strong>: \u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in the way computers and operating systems work. In junior high I started working with computers and figuring out the internals, then went to college and graduate school in it. There was a natural intersection with cybersecurity and operating systems design since both involve understanding complex systems, and I started doing more with cybersecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yonatan Zunger<\/strong>: \u201cI started my career as a theoretical physicist. I joined Google, spent years building search and infrastructure, and in 2011 I became the Chief Technology Officer of social. This was a few months before the launch of Google Plus, and I discovered that the hard parts of the job had nothing to do with technology. Instead, all the hard parts were security and privacy, and those were interesting problems to me. It quickly became clear that using these technologies in the right or wrong way can have a huge impact on people\u2019s lives. That stuck with me, and it caused me to genuinely fall in love with the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"q-what-does-your-team-do-and-how-do-you-work-with-others-across-the-company\">Q: What does your team do, and how do you work with others across the company?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Igor Sakhnov<\/strong>: \u201cMy team is responsible for the work and innovation in the Identity space, building a large-scale enterprise identity system. Over the past year, the point about larger systems being identity-driven has really come to fruition, with the new efforts that leverage identity in the network flows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Russinovich<\/strong>: \u201cMy team focuses on technical strategy, architecture, and security risk management for the Azure platform, engineering systems, and core operating systems. We work closely with teams across Microsoft to implement durable security measures. I collaborate with emerging technology teams to understand customer requirements and guide Azure\u2019s development while ensuring security remains a priority in all decisions and implementations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yonatan Zunger<\/strong>: \u201cWe\u2019re a very horizontal team and our work has six core pillars: AI research, infrastructure, empowerment, evaluation and review, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/business\/microsoft-incident-response\">incident response<\/a>, and policy and engagement. Within those pillars are a lot of people working on a lot of things, from doing safety and teaching it to people, to thoroughly testing and vetting every piece of generative AI software that goes out the door at Microsoft, to bringing AI expertise into incident responses, to engaging with all sorts of stakeholders across the world, and talking and sharing with them but also listening and learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"q-how-do-you-balance-the-need-for-security-with-the-need-for-innovation-in-your-team\">Q: How do you balance the need for security with the need for innovation in your team?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Igor Sakhnov<\/strong>: \u201cBalancing is important and hard. We strive to integrate security into the development process from the outset, shifting left and avoiding interruptions. No matter how innovative the product is, it will not get adapted if it is not secure or not reliable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Russinovich<\/strong>: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s an either or, but it is a balance. The second something may turn into a widget or service that people will depend on, you need security, but if you create such a hardened system that no one can use it, you\u2019ve wasted time. We have a commitment to our customers that security is always in the driver\u2019s seat, but innovation is holding the road map, and we\u2019re delivering on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yonatan Zunger<\/strong>: \u201cEngineering is the art of building systems to solve problems. If you\u2019re building a system that isn\u2019t safe and secure, you aren\u2019t solving the customer\u2019s problem, you\u2019re building a system that will give them more problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"q-what-are-some-of-the-biggest-cybersecurity-misconceptions-that-you-encounter\">Q: What are some of the biggest cybersecurity misconceptions that you encounter?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Igor Sakhnov<\/strong>: \u201cThe desire to make the perfect solution. This is why \u2018assume breach\u2019 is the mindset I cultivated with my team. Yes, we must focus on the protection at all costs, and we should expect that any protection will be circumvented. How we detect, reduce the impact, and mitigate in the shortest time is top of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Russinovich<\/strong>: \u201cThe assumption that unless you can prove to me something is not secure, it\u2019s secure. You of course must invest in prevention, but Microsoft has said for close to a decade now that you have to assume any system can and will be breached, so you have to minimize the impact and increase how you detect and mitigate those breaches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yonatan Zunger<\/strong>: \u201cThe idea that security, privacy, and safety are three distinct things. They\u2019re not. If you\u2019ve ever seen a security team, say, \u2018That sounds like a privacy problem,\u2019 and a privacy team say, \u2018That sounds like a security problem,\u2019 and nobody fixes it, you know where this story ends. Artificial boundaries like these are a factory of nasty incidents.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"q-what-s-one-piece-of-advice-you-would-give-to-your-younger-self\">Q: What\u2019s one piece of advice you would give to your younger self?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Igor Sakhnov<\/strong>: \u201cShift focus from the local improvements and invest heavily into the influence to shift larger organization for all to move in the needed direction. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/trust-center\/security\/secure-future-initiative\">Microsoft\u2019s Secure Future Initiative<\/a> is a notable example where a central push supersedes all the local innovation we have done over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Russinovich<\/strong>: \u201cI don\u2019t look back and think about things that I\u2019ve done wrong, but for those that are just starting out in a career or in life, I\u2019d say this: When you find an area that you\u2019re passionate about, learn that area and the areas around it, and learn one level deeper than you think necessary to be effective. My father gave me that advice and it\u2019s what inspired me to pursue computers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yonatan Zunger<\/strong>: \u201cIf you ever find yourself in a relationship where you can\u2019t fully be yourself\u2026leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-msxcm-cta-block theme-dark\" data-moray data-bi-an=\"CTA Block\">\n<div class=\"card d-block mx-ng mx-md-0\">\n<div class=\"row no-gutters bg-gray-800 text-white\">\n<div class=\"d-flex col-md\">\n<div class=\"card-body align-self-center p-4 p-md-5\" readability=\"30.642857142857\">\n<h2>Microsoft Secure<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mb-3\" readability=\"11\">\n<p>To see these innovations in action, join us on April 9, 2025 for Microsoft Secure, a digital event focused on security in the age of AI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/frame_5681-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"card-img img-object-cover\" alt=\"A woman in black dress\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/frame_5681-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/frame_5681-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/frame_5681-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/frame_5681-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/frame_5681-615x346.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/frame_5681-336x189.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/frame_5681-189x106.jpg 189w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/frame_5681-630x354.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/frame_5681.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"leadership-as-the-ultimate-control-layer\">Leadership as the ultimate control layer<\/h2>\n<p>Across identity, cloud ecosystems, and privacy, these leaders have independently arrived at similar conclusions: security enables rather than restricts, perfect protection is impossible, but resilience is achievable, and everyone\u2014from engineers to customers\u2014plays a role in defense.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s security transformation isn\u2019t just about technology.
