At Microsoft, we are committed to doing what we can to help our customers respond to the crisis and plan ahead for future success. In the past couple of months, I have been learning from—and inspired by—IT leaders around the globe who have been quickly adjusting IT priorities to enable remote work, and optimize costs and efficiencies while investing in smart ways to prepare for recovery and future growth.

With just a few clicks, Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery let customers easily back up their data and applications to the cloud, and quickly deploy cloud-based replication, failover, and recovery processes. Also, to ensure reliable connectivity, customers are using Azure Virtual WAN with supported partner SD-WAN devices to connect remote branch offices to on-premises and public cloud where applications and data are hosted.

Many customers are also taking advantage of Azure Sentinel, a cloud native security information and event management SIEM, to access advanced AI-enabled threat protection.
