Microsoft and Accenture unite for high-end government data protection

Microsoft is working hard to provide the best possible security to its users, and it does the same with government agencies.

Speaking of which, Microsoft is teaming up with Accenture Federal Services to enhance the security of government agencies.

Accenture and Microsoft are working on a cloud factory on Azure

According to Silverlinings, Accenture Federal Services and Microsoft are working on end-to-end Cloud Modernization and Migration Factory on Microsoft Azure Government.

This project should meet the highest security standards required for those operating in the sector of national security. The service should support both federal agencies and their partners alike.  

Accenture Federal Services CEO, John Goodman, said the following regarding the partnership:

Accenture Federal Services is excited to partner with Microsoft in launching the Cloud Modernization and Migration Factory on Azure to help our clients meet their mission objectives through highly capable, protected, monitored, and resilient connected services

The project will use “connection-in-a-box”, and it will streamline the onboarding of remote federal sites to Azure Government Secret and Top Secret classified clouds.

The entire process will offer the highest level of security for government data by utilizing Microsoft’s secure networking principles.

Microsoft Azure Government Secret and Top Secret classified clouds will provide agencies with the latest technologies, including AI that will be able to analyze the data and provide state-of-the-art cybersecurity.

Speaking of which 87% of companies in the UK are at risk of AI cyberattacks, therefore it’s no wonder that Microsft is partnering with Accenture on this project.
