Summary
Microsoft has improved the security of its Azure cloud platform by eliminating inactive accounts and rotating encryption keys following a nation-state hacking incident. These measures aim to decrease vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit and enhance the protection of sensitive data. The company highlights its commitment to maintaining customer trust and acknowledges the growing complexity of cyber threats, particularly from advanced nation-state actors. This initiative underscores the necessity for strong security protocols and consistent monitoring of account activity as organizations increasingly depend on cloud services.
