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.

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.
