Why Microsoft’s New Secure Future Initiative Won’t Be Enough Without You
🛡️ Microsoft’s Secure Future Won’t Secure Your People
📢 Microsoft’s new “Secure Future Initiative” is a powerful pivot – stronger engineering, more AI-driven threat detection, tighter controls. But…
🚨 None of it stops a user from clicking the wrong link.
🧠 Social engineering still bypasses the smartest tech. Why? Because humans trust, skip, forget, and fall for what feels safe.
🔐 AUMINT.io’s Trident platform fills the human gap: – Simulates ultra-targeted phishing + impersonation – Rewires reflexes through adaptive training – Shows CISOs where the next breach might start
📊 90% of breaches still involve human behavior. Microsoft can’t fix that. You can.
💬 Book your intro now – before a smart user becomes your weakest link.
