White Paper Addresses Security Considerations for Client and Cloud Applications

The increasing importance of "client and cloud" computing raises a number of important concerns about security. A new white paper helps you understand how Microsoft addresses potential security vulnerabilities during the development of “client and cloud” applications using the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL).

Download the white paper at Security Considerations for Client and Cloud Applications.

This paper describes how Microsoft has addressed security for its “client and cloud” platform and offers some guidance to other organizations who want to host their applications “in the cloud.” The paper begins by explaining how Microsoft applied the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) to the development of its “client and cloud” applications, and how the SDL has evolved to meet the demands of this environment. The paper then moves on to discuss the operational security policies that Microsoft applies to its cloud platform, and to explain the level of security that users can expect from Microsoft’s cloud platform.
