Cyber attacks and security pose the greatest risk as the resulting losses could be catastrophic (Figure 1), and these attacks are much more common events today (Figure 2). As a NY Times article states, it is wise to transfer these risks through cyber attack insurance since a company like Microsoft cannot completely avoid this risk. It is difficult and expensive to insure all this risk, especially for a company as large as Microsoft, so Microsoft should transfer as much as reasonably possible and try to control losses for the rest through extensive cybersecurity measures (Perlroth and Harris). .

Since Microsoft is so innovative, there are many projects that it undertakes, and these projects can make a lot of money or lose a lot of money for the company. It is obviously important to avoid these projects that will cost the company a lot in terms of revenue through a thorough analysis of the project.
