Microsoft Improves Cloud Security...

Microsoft has recently announced its huge developments in the cloud security sector that will allegedly improve the security of online companies. Microsoft plans to unveil more at the RSA Conference, taking place from February 29th to March 4th in San Francisco. These new developments include Customer Lockbox, Microsoft Cloud App Security, Azure Active Directory Identity Protection, and Microsoft Operations Management Suite.
Customer Lockbox: Lockbox helps Microsoft engineers achieve more transparency when they require access to Office 365 accounts to aid in troubleshooting. Lockbox aims to make the customer approval process more efficient. Lockbox is already available to those using Exchange Online.
Microsoft Cloud App Security: This application provides both security and control over data stored in app clouds, including SalesForce and Office 365. This application comes after the addition of security broker Adallom to the cloud giant. Office 365 was also upgraded in conjunction with Microsoft Cloud App Security: users will be made aware of suspicious activity. Uses will also have the choice of approving third party services.
Azure Active Directory Identity Protection: Microsoft has yet to unveil much about thus application, but it is expected that it will provide threat detection. It will utilize Microsoft’s data to investigate threats such as authentications from unfamiliar locations.

Microsoft Operations Management Suite: Some improvements were made to the Microsoft Operations Management Suite; users will receive information pertaining to malware detections, network activity, and system updates.
