Why is Microsoft cyber security important?
Microsoft Azure is a Cloud computing service that provides SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). It is the Cloud platform for the delivery of Microsoft Office 365 client services, which include Outlook (email), OneDrive (storage), SharePoint, Microsoft Teams and the Office applications.
Microsoft Office 365 is used by 258 million individuals and more than a million companies worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the use of Cloud-based applications to support remote and hybrid-office workers. Azure and Microsoft 365 are increasingly exploited by cyber criminals, so your organisation needs to take immediate action to ensure that it is adequately protected.
Microsoft security professionals are in demand
The Cloud computing platforms of Azure and Microsoft 365 applications are the technology cornerstones of Microsoft’s subscription-based services. IT professionals with Azure and Microsoft 365 cyber security qualifications are in demand from organisations of all sizes. The (ISC)2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study 2020 found that 49% of employers require their staff to have Microsoft qualifications and that 40% of cyber security professionals plan to enhance their Cloud security skills in the next two years.
