It the job of responsible company (especially one Microsoft’s size) to know that and plan for it accordingly.
Risk management is hard baked into the infosec responsibility set, size isn’t an excuse
Did you say, “Size doesn’t matter”?
(FYI - in hear this excuse all the time at a large company. Somehow our complexity and scale is always an excuse people reach toward. And, as you say, our job from infosec is to shut that whining down.
It can be if you don’t have the staff. If humans are the most vulnerable part of the system, you can’t stretch them too thin and expect them to be as effective in their role.
That’s part of another issue which should’ve been handled prior to getting too big.
