Leveraging the Public Cloud: Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure has been a leader in the public cloud space for years, both for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Storage Services and Application Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). It now accounts for much of Microsoft's largest business segment and is changing standards for user experience, cloud customization, and regulatory compliance. The flexible platform offers a wide range of usage-based migration services across applications, compute, storage, and network - so SMBs get the best ROI on a limited budget.

Enterprise Cloud Security for SMBs

A strong security practice has always been central to Azure's success. Azure provides simple, easily implemented tools such as multi-factor authentication and application password requirements. It offers threat detection for suspicious user behavior, DDoS protection against malicious traffic, and Azure AD for Single-Sign-On and identity management. Greater investment in AI, Machine Learning, and Advanced Analytics work to further this cybersecurity practice and stay ahead in today's threat landscape.
