Microsoft Restructures Security Division Under New Chief Amid AI OverhaulPreviousNext

Microsoft is restructuring its cybersecurity division under new security chief Hayete Gallot, who replaced several senior executives and cut hundreds of roles as part of an AI-focused overhaul. Gallot, reporting directly to CEO Satya Nadella, aims to advance AI-powered security products like Microsoft Security Copilot. The company announced layoffs of 4,800 employees, with Xbox's gaming division most affected. Former security chief Charlie Bell remains at Microsoft in a different role. Microsoft has not commented on these changes.
