Modules in this learning path
Governments around the world are in the process of a digital transformation, actively investigating solutions and selecting architectures that will help them transition many of their workloads to the cloud. Begin this transformation by exploring why Azure is the right platform for your agency and the value Azure can bring. See how Azure enables you to engage citizens, empower employees, transform government services, and optimize government operations.
Learn and understand the key terms and concepts of data protection, privacy regulation, and data processing. Describe, at a high level, the key Azure technologies that pertain to data protection and compliance.
Government customers worldwide expect to be fully in control of protecting their data in the cloud. Azure provides many options for safeguarding data throughout its entire lifecycle. From enforcing data residency, to encryption, to strict procedures for insider and government access, Azure keeps to strong principles and commitments that give public sector customers confidence that their data is secure.
For many government customers, enforcing data sovereignty, addressing custom compliance requirements, and applying maximum available protection to highly sensitive data are their top priorities for cloud solutions. Azure Stack Hub and Azure Stack Edge allow them to process highly sensitive data using a private or hybrid cloud and to benefit from a Microsoft intelligent cloud and intelligent edge approach in their architectures.
