Microsoft on Tuesday unveiled several new security capabilities for its Microsoft 365 and Azure solutions, including for data security, compliance, and risk management.
Microsoft also announced new Microsoft 365 features designed to help organizations address insider risk and code of conduct violations.
In the case of its Azure Sentinel SIEM solution, Microsoft announced new third-party connectors that will enable organizations to easily obtain data from third-party firewall, endpoint security, network security and vulnerability management products.
Finally, Microsoft announced Double Key Encryption for Microsoft 365, which enables organizations to remain in full control of the encryption keys they use to protect their most sensitive data.
"Double Key Encryption for Microsoft 365 uses two keys to protect your data, with one key in your control and the second in Microsoft's control. To view the data, one must have access to both keys. Since Microsoft can access only one key, your data and key are unavailable to Microsoft, helping to ensure the privacy and security of your data," Microsoft explained.
