How Secure is Azure?

Editor's Notes

  • #4 Microsoft makes it easier for customers to achieve compliance for the infrastructure and applications they run in Azure. ISO/EC 27001:2005 is a standard that specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a documented Information Security Management System. 
  • #5 customers to carry out authorized penetration testing on their applications hosted in Azure. Because such testing can be indistinguishable from a real attack, it is critical that customers conduct penetration testing only after obtaining approval in advance from Azure Customer Support. 
  • #6 Built-in SSL and TLS cryptography enables customers to encrypt communications within and between deployments, from Azure to on-premises datacenters, and from Azure to administrators and users. 1st- Site to Site VPN -setup a vpn tunnel- 2nd – Site to Multisite VPN 3rd – Vnet to Vnet 4th – Point to site VPN -client computer can connect using certificate (protected connection)
  • #7 No Admin/Administrator Password – 8 char long (must contain upper case,lower case, number & a special char
  • #13 How it work? We store data is 3 disk – like mirror
  • #14 If die, it is durable. Azure will mark as die and create another copy
  • #15 If 3 disk not enough, you can enable geo redundant by replicating to another DC. (more than 400 miles away) Why 400 miles?
  • #17 Data (It your own) – own control No advertising or Commercial If request, then will redirect to user
