Mike Reavey is the senior director of the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) in the Trustworthy Computing Group at Microsoft Corp. In this role, Reavey leads Microsoft’s security response team in detecting and addressing software vulnerabilities in Microsoft products. Additionally, Reavey engages with cross-Microsoft product groups and the external researcher community to proactively identify security threats and help keep customers protected.
Reavey has worked with the MSRC since 2003, continually aiming to improve the team’s response framework. Most notably, Reavey was very involved in resolving the Zotob, Sasser and Blaster virus outbreaks.
Prior to joining Microsoft, Reavey was a team leader for the Air Force Communications Agency and the 92nd Information Warfare Squadron in the U.S. Air Force. In this role, he worked to secure and optimize global air force networks.
Reavey was drawn to Microsoft because of the company’s ability to impact change in the security landscape, as well as Microsoft’s focus on continually improving product security. Additionally, he was intrigued by the reality that security fundamentally helps society as a whole, a notion that he also felt while working in the military. Diversity of challenges, smart minds, dedicated colleagues and the ability to work directly with the researcher community has kept Reavey passionate about this space.
Reavey received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1998. He is a Florida native, and while he misses the sun, opportunities and people have kept him loving Seattle for the past nine years.
