Securing Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines leveraging BitLocker and Native OS encryption

Microsoft Azure customers in highly regulated industries, such as Microsoft_Azure_SecureVMhealthcare and financial sectors, often require a data-at-rest encryption solution to meet internal and external compliance requirements and as a security best practice for public cloud deployments. One of the critical requirements is the ability for customers to manage encryption keys and policies independent of the cloud provider.

CloudLink SecureVM provides Microsoft Azure customers with the capability to encrypt their virtual machine data on a multi-tenant shared infrastructure and full control of the encryption keys for their data on the Azure storage infrastructure.

SecureVM for Microsoft Azure supports the following key features:

  • Enables Windows BitLocker and Linux native OS encryption for both Windows and Linux VMs in Microsoft Azure
  • Encrypts boot volume and/or data volume
  • Pre-boot authentication for Azure VMs before releasing keys to decrypt boot volumes
  • Protects the integrity of Azure VMs against unauthorized modification
  • Integrates existing enterprise key management and provides full control of key management policies
  • Supports hybrid cloud deployments
