ISO Azure Security Superstars to be Azure Security MVPs

No, not International Standards Organization superstars

ISO, as “In Search Of” (that’s vintage Internet speak!)

Are you an Azure Security Superstar? Do you know someone that you think of an Azure security superstar?

The move to cloud computing has reignited the interest and demand for security. Just about any conversation about public cloud computing is going to have a major portion dedicated to security. That’s a good thing, because without security, “you got nothin’”

What are some of the things you need to be expert on in order to be considered an Azure security superstar? Here’s a few:

• Azure Disk Encryption
• Azure Storage Encryption
• Azure Security Center
• Operations Management Suite-Security & Compliance
• Azure Key Vault
• Azure SQL Transparent Data Encryption and Cell-Level Encryption
• Azure SQL firewall
• Azure IoT security
• Azure Security best practices
• Azure Virtual Machine security
• Advanced threat detection/Machine Learning/Anomaly Detection/Behavioral Analysis
• Azure compliance and certifications

If you or someone you know is an Azure security superstar, then we want to extend an invite to be an Azure MVP.
