Microsoft’s Top 100 Security Researchers – Black Hat 2018 Edition

[News]

This morning we are excited to unveil the security researcher leaderboard at the Black Hat Security Conference. This list recognizes the top security researchers who have contributed research to the Microsoft products and services. If you are curious on how we build the list, check out our blog from last week on The Making of the Top 100 Researcher List.

We appreciate all the work and partnerships with the security community over the years. This is a good annual reflection point on the past year’s contributions. Keep up the great work and we look forward to hearing from you this year too.
