Azure DDoS Protection
“In our on-premises environment, each security layer
was standalone, presented in several dashboards. In
Azure, we wanted to focus not only on the available
solutions, but also combining their functionalities into a
single easy-to-deploy, easy-to-manage, highly secure
environment.”
André Beerendonk, Team Manager for IT Operations, VECOZO
“We need providers like Microsoft that we can trust so
we can focus on the business. We use Azure DDoS
Network Protection and Azure Web Application
Firewall on Azure Application Gateway to protect our
business-critical workloads and data streams across our
environment.”
