So what is this Azure? You have no doubt by now heard of this thing we call the "Cloud". It's everywhere, but a lot of people still don't quite understand what it is. To put it very simply, the "Cloud" is just a computer (or loads of them, actually) that are not where you are currently sitting.

In the world of information security, there is a saying "security by obscurity is not security". The breaches that get national attention would have you believe, and understandably so, that hackers go after high profile targets and they don't care about the little guys. But in fact the opposite is true because the little guys (small business) spend less or no money or security, and worst of all, nobody is even watching for an attack. In my line of work, we call that the "low hanging fruit".
