Microsoft Azure Data Protection Service

Organizations utilizing Azure web services and applications are responsible for securing their sensitive and critical data stored in the cloud. Azure provides easy deployment and management of its IT operations; however, a challenge is that mistakes can happen and cascade to a bigger impact. For instance, the misconfiguration of a data store can expose sensitive information such as personally identifiable information (PII), payment card industry (PCI) data, or protected health information (PHI).  In a recent breach event, 587,000 files were left in an unprotected Azure blob, containing files with personally identifiable data. The firm has since closed off the access to the database and has begun to notify affected customers. Encryption Consulting LLC will help your organization with its expertise in Cloud platforms and security services in deploying data protection controls in your Azure Cloud environment.
