Head-To-Head IoT Platforms: Microsoft Azure's Vs. Amazon Web Services'

Azure IoT Hub: Security

Security is at the top of everyone's mind, and Microsoft and AWS have taken extra steps to ensure security measures in their platforms.

Microsoft's Azure IoT Hub relies on the Transport Layer Security protocol, enabling communication between devices and the cloud (and vice versa) to be encrypted and guaranteeing data confidentiality for customers.

The company also secures device and service authentication with access control and credentials to define a set of permissions that will grant access to exposed endpoints.
