Spirits soared at the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards on June 5, 2022. And is it any wonder? The celebration marked the first time that Microsoft executives and Microsoft Intelligent Security Association<\/a> (MISA) members had gathered in person in more than two years so it was a special night for many reasons!<\/p>\n

Formerly known as the Microsoft Security 20\/20 Awards, the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards recognizes MISA member success across security during the past 12 months. MISA is a coalition of Microsoft leaders and subject matter experts, independent software vendors (ISVs), and managed security service providers (MSSPs) working together to defend against increasing security threats.<\/p>\n

Attendees donned their fashionably festive best and gathered at the brightly lit San Francisco Design Center for cocktails, dinner, networking, and awards recognition. They smiled as they caught up with folks they may not have seen in years\u2014and some even made new connections.<\/p>\n

The stars of the evening were all the MISA members that work tirelessly to ensure the security of our shared customers. Congratulations to all our award finalists and winners! After cocktails, conversation, and dinner, Microsoft executives Vasu Jakkal, Phil Montgomery, Andrew Conway, Alym Rayani, Irina Nechaeva, Desmond Forbes, Sue Bohn, Mandana Javaheri, Madhu Prasha, and Scott Woodgate handed out the awards. Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Security, praised the recipients for their achievements.<\/p>\n

Heartiest congratulations to all of this year\u2019s winners.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

Be fearless with comprehensive security<\/h2>\n

Microsoft and MISA members share a commitment to supporting customers in their efforts to be fearless. That means ensuring that they have the comprehensive security<\/a> necessary to help them grow their enterprise securely to match their vision. When we talk about comprehensive security, we\u2019re not referring merely to security coverage, though that\u2019s important. We\u2019re also talking about best-in-breed protection, built-in intelligence, and simplified management.<\/p>\n

Being fearless when it comes to cybersecurity comes when companies:<\/p>\n
