By meeting strict requirements and earning Microsoft specializations. Difenda is keeping pace with today’s evolving roles and responsibilities in the security industry. 

Difenda is pleased to share our latest achievement, the Microsoft Cloud Security Advanced Specialization.

In 2023, cloud attacks have continued to become more persistent, sophisticated, and costly than ever before. The constantly evolving cloud landscape requires businesses to not only protect their data with information and event management. But to also optimize their automation and response capabilities. However, with limited access to skilled personnel in-house, many organizations are turning to partners like Difenda to secure their business-critical systems and data in the cloud.

The Microsoft Cloud Security Advanced Specialization helps customers identify partners that have proven experience. In implementing comprehensive protection across Microsoft Azure, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. To earn this specialization, partners must meet rigorous requirements, including passing specific Microsoft exams, achieving a certain level of Azure consumed revenue, and providing customer references.

Difenda is pleased to have met all of these requirements and earned the Microsoft Cloud Security Advanced Specialization. This achievement is a testament to our commitment to providing our customers with the best-in-class cloud security solutions.

In the past year, we have continued to invest in our cloud security expertise by:

  • Expanding our team of cloud security experts
  • Developing new cloud security solutions
  • Partnering with Microsoft to stay up-to-date on the latest cloud security threats

We are committed to providing our customers with the peace of mind that their data is safe and secure in the cloud.

We hope that this achievement will further strengthen our relationship with our customers and partners, and help us. To continue to provide the best possible cloud security solutions.
