“As more and more people use [the] cloud, that spending has to go up,” Mr. Shah told Reuters.

Although the $1 billion amount doesn’t include acquisitions Microsoft made in the cybersecurity sector, the company has bought three Israel-based security firms — Aorato, Adallom and Secure Islands — over the past two years.
