Microsoft is giving database administrators working with Azure SQL Database a new suite of security tools to check out. A new Always Encrypted feature will be available as a public beta by the end of the month. It allows users to encrypt sensitive data within an application using their own keys without relinquishing those keys to the database. The company will automatically rotate the encryption keys for a database using the feature every 90 days, without end users having to worry about it. Users will also be able to try out a new Threat Detection feature that checks for suspicious activity at both the database and logical server level.”]
