Microsoft has released several new enterprise security offerings to help companies meet the challenges of remote work.

"Double Key Encryption uses two keys to protect your data-one key in your control, and a second key is stored securely in Microsoft Azure. Viewing data protected with Double Key Encryption requires access to both keys. Since Microsoft can access only one of these keys, your protected data remains inaccessible to Microsoft, ensuring that you have full control over its privacy and security," the company explained.

This Microsoft enterprise security solution allows organizations to migrate sensitive data to the cloud or share it via a cloud platform without relying solely on the provider's encryption.

"Data Loss Prevention solutions help prevent data leaks and provide context-based policy enforcement for data at rest, in use, and in motion on-premises and in the cloud," Alym Rayani, Senior Director, Microsoft 365, noted.

"For those using Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection, we can now provide insights into whether someone is trying to evade security controls by disabling multi-factor authentication or installing unwanted software, which may indicate potentially malicious behavior," explained Talhar Mir, Principal PM at Microsoft.
