Tune and protect your database with internal intelligence

The SQL Database uses built-in intelligence that learns the unique patterns of the database and automatically adjusts it to improve performance and protection. Threat Detection monitors the 24-hour database and detects possible malicious activity by alerting you to detection to enable immediate intervention.

Protect your application data and ensure availability

Create applications with enhanced security in the cloud with advanced security and protection features that dynamically mask sensitive data, encrypting them at rest and on the move. Ensure high availability with three hot replicas and built-in automatic failover that ensure an SLA with 99.99% availability .1 Speed recovery from catastrophic failures and regional outages to achieve a less than five-second RPO with active geographic replication. With physical and operational security, the SQL Database helps you maintain compliance with the most rigorous regulations such as ISO / IEC 27001/27002, Fed RAMP / FISMA, SOC, HIPPA and PCI DSS.
