At this week's Build virtual event, Microsoft announced new Identity and Azure features meant to improve security for both application developers and enterprise customers.
This week, Microsoft announced two new additions to Azure Security Center: the availability of Azure Secure Score API to customers, and the public availability of suppression rules for Azure Security Center alerts, which are meant to reduce alerts fatigue.
Microsoft now allows customers to use SafeNet Luna HSMs or Fortanix SDKMS to generate encryption keys outside Azure and then import them into Azure Key Vault.
Recently, Microsoft announced the general availability of Azure Confidential Computing, which leverages the latest Intel SGX CPU hardware for a new class of VMs that can protect the confidentiality and integrity of customer data while in memory.
Customers can approve or reject data access requests through Customer Lockbox for Microsoft Azure, which now features expanded coverage of services, and is now available in preview for Azure Government cloud customers.
