Deep dives

FTC Investigation into Microsoft

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has opened an investigation into Microsoft’s business practices, particularly concerning its bundling of security products under its E5 licensing. This investigation is noteworthy due to Microsoft's significant role in the technology ecosystem and its influence in the InfoSec community. Critics argue that Microsoft’s ability to bundle services may suppress competition by making it difficult for standalone security providers to succeed. The discussion raises questions about the potential consequences if Microsoft were required to separate its security products from its other offerings.
