Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella requested a pay reduction after a series of cyberattacks and security incidents. His total package was $79.1 million for the 2024 fiscal year, down from $5.5 million if not for the requested reduction. The company's board approved a $5.2 million cash incentive instead. This move reflects Nadella's commitment to prioritizing security above all else.
