Microsoft touts new, holistic approach to enterprise security
Microsoft is putting a lot of effort and money into building a holistic security platform that combines the attack protection, detection and response features built into Windows 10, Office 365, Azure and the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite to help companies safeguard their data regardless of where it resides.
Talking at the Microsoft Government Cloud Forum in Washington on Tuesday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that the company is spending more than $1 billion a year in research and development to build security into its products, because "security has to be core to the operational systems used by enterprises."
The company showed on stage how Windows 10’s Microsoft Passport, Windows Hello and Credential Guard provide secure authentication and integrate with Azure Active Directory; how Advanced Threat Analytics can detect anomalous login patterns, brute-force and pass-the-hash attacks; and how the Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) can be used to manage data and applications on mobile devices and work with Microsoft Intune and Azure Rights Management Services (RMS) to prevent accidental data leaks.
