Security Program For Azure

Microsoft also rolled out the Security Program for Azure IoT, which it touts as another layer of security over its platform.

The program, which works from the ground up to examine business devices and assets to gateways, as well as communication to the cloud, includes third-party auditors who can come on-site to perform security audits for customers, said George.

"The whole goal here is to provide an additional layer of security for customers who use our enterprise-grade security, but are also building solutions on top of that and want to make sure they are secure," George said.
