Running one of the largest clouds in the world, Microsoft has gained a lot of insight into building and managing a global, high performance, highly available, and secure network.
While the cloud may have initially raised some security concerns among enterprises, Microsoft is changing those dynamics.
Furthering our commitment to be the most trusted cloud for Government, today Microsoft is proud to announce two milestone achievements in support of the US Department of Defense.
As announced at the end of September, Azure Security Center now offers integrated vulnerability assessment with Qualys cloud agents (preview) as part of the Virtual Machine recommendations.
Over the last few years, “cloud” has been one of the most used words in tech, and 2016 is no exception – for good reason.
Here at Azure Government, we are committed to meeting the highest bars for security and compliance requirements, including those for ITAR and Defense Industrial Base customers.
Cyber threats are evolving at an astonishing pace, and safeguarding your cloud workloads requires constant innovation. Since Azure Security Center became generally available in July 2016, we have been hard at work on new capabilities to help customers better defend against these threats.
Microsoft was proud to become the first global cloud service provider to appear on the Department of Commerce’s list of Privacy Shield certified entities as of August 12th 2016.
We are very excited to announce the next phase of our support of blockchain on Microsoft Azure with the launch of an early version of the Bletchley v1 infrastructural substrate.
In the introduction of Project Bletchley white paper in June, we introduced some of the requirements needed for building consortium based blockchains as well as Cryptlets, a primitive for next generation blockchain applications.
Government clouds are not all the same so we’re starting a dialogue on our strategy for building the Microsoft Government Cloud, exploring several areas we believe are highly valuable differentiators.
If case you haven’t noticed, we’ve been super busy here at Azure Government, and have been posting all our exciting updates and items of interest on our Azure Government Blog!
