After the acquisition of BlueTalon and the introduction of Azure Dedicated Hosts, the Redmond giant further tries to evolve its product with Azure Security Lab.
Microsoft is doubling down on Azure’s security
To emphasise the security of Azure, Microsoft invited security researchers to test attacks against IaaS scenarios in a customer-safe cloud environment called the Azure Security Lab. This is not the first time when the tech giant does this. In the past, white hackers that were willing to test Azure’s security were welcomed to try in exchange of significant bounties. Now, the bounties have been doubled to a whooping $40,000, and that’s not all:
Microsoft’s collaboration with security researchers improved their products
Microsoft focuses more and more on security lately, and Azure was built with security in mind. That’s why customers have access to products like Azure Sentinel and Azure Security Center. Also, there is the Cloud Defense Operations Center (CDOC) and the security teams behind it that work continuously to identify and eliminate threats. Here’s what Microsoft is saying about their last year of collaboration with researchers: Azure getting bigger and more secure is good news for everyone, especially for customers.
