Azure Security Center

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

In Azure, security is built in at every step—design, code development, monitoring, operations, threat intelligence, and response.

While cloud security continues to be a top concern, we recently shared insights from a survey that show overall concern has dropped significantly since 2015. We’re now at a stage where half of organizations contend the cloud is more secure than their on-premises infrastructure.

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.

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.

We are pleased to announce that the latest of those tools, Azure Security Center, is generally available.

We made some exciting enhancements to Azure Security Center, including more partners, detections, and security management capabilities.

With Azure Security Center, we deeply analyze a wealth of data, from a variety of Microsoft and partner solutions to help you achieve greater security.

Today, we are pleased to announce that the public preview of Azure Security Center is now available.
