Over the past year, we have had the pleasure of working with several customers on their business initiatives related to blockchain’s technology.

Highlights from last week in Azure for the week of October 30, 2017: Azure capacity growth in China, GA of Azure Managed Applications, Azure Security Center updates, registration opened for Microsoft Connect(); 2017, and more

In-memory attacks are on the rise and attracting increasing attention. In this post, we will describe two in-memory attack techniques and show how these can be detected using Sysmon and Azure Security Center.

While the threat landscape has changed dramatically over the last several years, malware detection continues to be one of the biggest issues.

Azure Security Center, which helps you protect workloads running in Azure against cyber threats, can now also be used to secure workloads running on-premises and in other clouds.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are one of the top availability and security concerns we hear from customers moving their applications to the cloud.

Microsoft spends one billion dollars per year on cybersecurity and much of that goes to making Microsoft Azure the most trusted cloud platform.

Microsoft is committed to bringing blockchain to the enterprise—and is working with customers, partners, and the blockchain community to continue advancing its enterprise readiness.

Azure Security Center automatically collects, analyzes, and integrates log data from a variety of Azure resources.

Running mission-critical workloads require both performance and reliability.

As we approach Consensus 2017, it is with great pleasure that we announce support for complex blockchain network deployments for many more blockchain and distributed ledger protocols on Azure, including HyperLedger Fabric, R3 Corda, Quorum, Chain Core, and BlockApps, to further our goal and meet
