You know what they say: “Time is money.” For many workloads in the capital markets space, time accuracy is money.

In my recent conversations with customers, they have shared the security challenges they are facing on-premises. These challenges include recruiting and retaining security experts, quickly responding to an increasing number of threats, and ensuring that their security policies are meeting their compliance requirements.

IoT is reshaping the way we interact with the world around us.

Cybersecurity can be challenging for many organizations. It doesn’t have to be. Migrating your workloads to the cloud can help achieve better security.

Organizations today are constantly under attack. Azure Security Center (ASC) uses advanced analytics and global threat intelligence to detect malicious threats, and the new capabilities that our product team is adding everyday empower our customers to respond quickly to these threats.

Attackers commonly target open ports on Internet-facing virtual machines (VMs), spanning from port scanning to brute force and DDoS attacks. In case of a successful brute force attack, an attacker can compromise your VM and establish a foothold into your environment.

Azure Security Center provides you with visibility across all your resources running in Azure and alerts you of potential or detected issues.

Cloud-hosted workloads offer excellent scalability, ease of deployment, and pre-secured infrastructure for your workloads. However, the workloads themselves may still be susceptible to attack by cybercriminals.

Microsoft Azure provides a secure foundation for customers to host their infrastructure and applications.

Today, we’re releasing our next update to Workbench, which we’re calling version 1.2.0. You can either deploy a new instance of Workbench through the Azure portal or upgrade your existing deployment to 1.2.0 using our upgrade script.
