Are you passionate about building large scale cloud services that solve real world problems? Do you want to build security services that help thousands of customers protect their services and applications from threat actors around the globe? Are you curious, analytical and motivated by new challenges and willing to prove it? If so, we would like to hear from you!
The Azure Forensics Team, which is part of the Azure Security Engineering organization, has invented a cloud scale forensics service that provides real-time threat telemetry from hundreds of thousands of Azure Virtual Machines. This threat telemetry is used to combat the next generation of cyber-attacks. The Azure Forensics Service provides dynamic threat intelligence through the use of indicators and heuristics to protect Azure and its customers across an array of cloud services. The core of the Azure Forensics service is a platform for host and services artifact extraction and an execution engine complemented by dynamic threat intelligence collected. This threat intelligence is shared with teams and services through the company, to identify and prevent cyber-attacks. The service will be also offered to Azure customer and will become a big competitive differentiator for Microsoft.
