It adds to the already available Azure (public cloud), Azure Government, and Azure Government Secret services, offering the same capabilities. Presently, Microsoft is working with the US Government to obtain the ICD 503 accreditation for the new cloud.
Expanding the tactical portfolio for US Government customers
Since Azure Government Secret is used by the US Department of Defence, law enforcement, and other agencies, it’s expected that Azure Government Top Secret will be employed by the same agencies to enforce the security level for official state operations. Apart from the new cloud that is ready to be rolled out, Microsoft confirmed that two other services have been included in Azure Government Secret, namely Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Azure Container Instances. They aim at an easier deployment and management of containerized applications. Moreover, two new intelligent security analytics services can now be used by the government agencies – Azure Sentinel and Azure Security Center – to collect and analyze data. Given nowadays’ situation and the importance of mobility and teleworking, Microsoft mentioned that they are also working to make all Azure Government services available in work-from-anywhere scenarios, while ensuring security and productivity altogether.
