We announced the general availability of Azure Security Center for IoT in July 2019. Since then, we have seen a lot of interest from both our customers and partners.

An ever-increasing number of enterprises, even as they adopt a hybrid IT strategy, continue to retain mission-critical data on-premises, and look towards the public cloud as an effective offsite for their backups.

Last November we introduced Microsoft Azure Firewall Manager preview for Azure Firewall policy and route management in secured virtual hubs.

Today, we are excited to share several new Azure Firewall capabilities based on your top feedback items:

This Azure-only capability enables customers to run their most IO intensive workloads, without compromising on well-known deployment patterns for failover and high availability.

SQL Server customers that are migrating their databases to the cloud have multiple choices for their cloud destination.

At Microsoft, we’ve expanded our partnerships, including Volkswagen, LG Electronics, Faurecia, TomTom, and more, and taken the wraps off new thinking such as at CES, where we recently demonstrated our approach to in-vehicle compute and software architecture.

When running IT systems on-premises, you might try to ensure perfect availability by having gold-plated hardware, locking up the server room and throwing away the key.

Today, we are pleased to share the preview of Backup Explorer. Backup Explorer is a built-in Azure Monitor Workbook enabling you to have a single pane of glass for performing real-time monitoring across your entire backup estate on Azure.

Today we’re pleased to introduce the release of Data Protection and Privacy Compliance in the Cloud: Privacy Concerns Are Not Slowing the Adoption of Cloud Services, but Challenges Remain, original research sponsored by Microsoft and independently conducted by the Ponemon Institute.

At Microsoft Ignite, we announced the new Azure Migrate assessment capabilities that further simplify migration planning: support for assessment of physical servers, import-based assessments, application discovery and agentless application dependency analysis.
