Microsoft Azure is at the center of Microsoft’s cloud services strategy and the future of Microsoft. Security represents the most critical priorities for our customers in a world awash in digital threats, regulatory scrutiny, and estate complexity. We want to reshape security and empower every user, customer, and developer with a security cloud that protects them with end to end, simplified solutions.
