Former Amazon.com Inc cloud executive Charlie Bell said he has joined Microsoft Corp to lead a newly formed role overseeing cybersecurity operations.

Bell's appointment comes at a time when Microsoft has been hit hard in terms of cybersecurity shortcomings. In late August, security experts at Wiz described a database flaw that also would have allowed one customer to alter another's data in the Azure cloud platform. Bell began his career as a developer of mini-computer software used in engineering of space shuttle payload mixes. He joined Amazon in 1998 after his startup was acquired by the e-commerce giant.
