You'll also ensure extensibility across Copilot for Security and the broader Cloud Ecosystem Security (CES) portfolio. To achieve this scale, we need move beyond one-off engagements and enable growth through a globally distributed team that accelerates onboarding, provides consistent technical guidance, and establishes repeatable integration patterns-creating sustainable success for Microsoft and our partners. We prioritize partnerships that inform our roadmap based on real-world integration needs, focusing on APIs and extensibility. Our goal: every release is scalable and supportable, minimizing custom work and enabling sustainable growth.
