Azure and Windows Server—

Azure and
Windows Server:
industry-leading
security
Microsoft spends more than $1 billion
each year on cybersecurity to keep
workloads safe. Azure offers a secure
platform for your cloud workloads,
providing industry-leading security
intelligence, multi-layer threat discovery
and defense, encryption, multifactor
authentication, and a strong network
of integrated partner solutions. These
easy-to-deploy, built-in protections
maximize security, reduce complexity,
and free up operational resources for
more critical functions.
Protecting systems requires a holistic
approach that builds security from
the chip to the cloud across hardware,
firmware, and the operating system.
That's why Windows Server includes
multiple layers of security built right
into the operating system to protect
workloads—whether you run them
on-premises or in a cloud environment.
And whether you keep Windows servers
on-premises or bring them to Azure, two
key cloud-based tools add critical layers
of security. Both tools integrate with
Azure and non-Azure workloads.
• Improve your security posture with
Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
• See and stop threats with Microsoft
Sentinel.
