Is the MS Defender team (endpoint) still growing or is it fairly mature with most low-mid level problems already solved? How siloed is the org? Do security researchers and data scientists collaborate and work together or is it siloed? #cybersecurity #msft #microsoft
I'm in the defender org as a researcher. The defender org overall is definitely still growing, considerably. But the older teams much less so. My team for example has not had any openings or new joiners in a couple years. To your other question, it's a little hard to answer for everyone as the research focused teams have a lot of diversity in how they work, but I'm my experience research and data science work together pretty regularly and if you're interested you can definitely jump in some of the projects that would give more of that collaboration. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks. Double checking if this comment is for Defender for Endpoint or it applies to most Defender orgs (defender for identity/Defender for office 365)?
I'd say it applies to at least defender for endpoint and office. I can't speak to identity or any others.
