Microsoft’s Azure Security Teamannounced todaythat theAzure Security Centeris now generally available to Azure customers. Azure Security Center gives Azure customers a central view of the security state of all of their Azure resources. The dashboard wasintroduced in preview last December, and Principal Program Manager for Azure Cybersecurity Sarah Fender highlighted today how Azure Customers leveraged it to manage their Azure resources:

During its preview period, Azure Security Center helped customers such as Chronodrive, Jet.com and Metro Bank gain visibility into the security state of their Azure resources, let them take control of cloud security policies, and monitored security configurations while helping them detect and respond to active attacks.

Azure Security Center provided customers more than 500,000 recommendations to improve the security health of their resources. It used advanced analytics, including machine learning, and Microsoft’s vast global threat intelligence, to detect more than 140,000 threats per month – providing actionable alerts and dramatically reducing detection and response times.

Now that Azure Security Center is out of preview, Microsoft is also adding the following new features :

To get started with Azure Security Center, we invite you to go on thededicated websiteto learn how the tool can help you to understand your cloud security state. The service is offered in two tiers, Free and Standard, with a 90 day trial for the Standard tier.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
