Securing Microsoft's Cloud Infrastructure

This paper introduces the reader to the Online Services Security and Compliance team, a part of the Global Foundation Services division who manages security for the Microsoft cloud infrastructure. Readers will gain an understanding of what cloud computing at Microsoft means today and how the company delivers a trustworthy cloud computing infrastructure. This paper shows how the coordinated and strategic application of people, processes, technologies, and experience results in continuous improvements to the security of the Microsoft cloud environment. The Online Services Security and Compliance (OSSC) team within the Global Foundation Services (GFS) division builds on the same security principles and processes Microsoft has developed through years of experience managing security risks in traditional development and operating environments.
