Our ambition on trust
Thanks to Digital AmBEtion, our country will be one of the least vulnerable countries in the EU by 2025. The datacenter region in Belgium offers local data residency while benefiting from Microsoft's global hyperscale cloud infrastructure. Security and trust are some of the key pillars and concerns in driving Belgium's digital transformation.
We analyze more than 43 trillion signals via email, endpoints and identities every day, and translate this information into innovative features to protect our customers even better. Last year alone, we stopped more than 90 billion cyber attacks.
We spend $1 billion every year on security research and development. We also deploy more than 8500 cybersecurity experts worldwide to protect against threats. Over the next five years, we’ll invest $20 billion to improve our security solutions and protect customers.
Security starts with the physical security of our datacenter facilities and infrastructure (e.g. access requests, fencing, secure access to buildings, biometric authentication between rooms).
Microsoft is leading the way in Confidential Computing - as we actively deploy hardware that can be authenticated by the customer with remote attestation and a hardware root of trust. While data at rest or in transition is already encrypted, Azure Confidential Computing goes a step further by protecting your data as it is being processed.
Through Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty, governments and public sector customers can achieve their digital transformation while maintaining their privacy and compliance requirements. By providing governance, privacy, transparency and sovereign technology combined with strategic partners, Microsoft can support the digital transformation of government customers like no other cloud provider in the world.
The EU Data Boundary (EU Data Boundary) for the Microsoft Cloud ensures that data from EU customers is processed and stored in the European Union. This applies to all of Microsoft's major platforms such as Azure, Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365.
