When it comes to building secure, scalable, and intelligent IoT solutions, Microsoft plays a critical role in helping Cumulocity deliver on its promise of fast, flexible, and secure device connectivity. Through Microsoft Azure, Cumulocity gains access to a cloud platform that’s built for resilience, compliance, and global reach. But more importantly, Microsoft brings a connected security model that aligns perfectly with Cumulocity’s mission to simplify and safeguard IoT deployments.

Security in IoT isn’t just about protecting devices. It’s about securing the entire lifecycle—from device onboarding and data transmission to analytics and long-term operations. Microsoft’s connected security approach ensures that every layer of the solution is protected, without slowing down innovation.

Microsoft helps businesses transform through secure, scalable, and intelligent digital infrastructure. Its cloud platform, Microsoft Azure, offers a wide range of services—from data storage and analytics to AI and edge computing—that enable organizations to innovate faster and operate more efficiently.

In the context of IoT, Microsoft provides the backbone for secure device connectivity, real-time data processing, and enterprise integration. Azure’s global reach and built-in security features make it an ideal foundation for IoT platforms like Cumulocity.

Microsoft’s connected security model is especially relevant. It protects every layer of the solution—from device authentication and data encryption to threat detection and compliance. Tools like Microsoft Defender XDR and Entra ID help monitor, manage, and secure IoT environments at scale. This ensures that businesses can deploy connected solutions without compromising on safety or performance.

By partnering with Microsoft, Cumulocity gains access to a trusted cloud ecosystem that supports hybrid deployments, edge intelligence, and seamless integration with enterprise systems. This allows customers to launch IoT solutions quickly, manage devices securely, and unlock insights that drive real business value.

Microsoft’s role is not just technical—it’s strategic. It enables Cumulocity to deliver IoT solutions that are fast to deploy, easy to scale, and built for long-term resilience.

Cumulocity and Microsoft work together to simplify and secure the deployment of IoT solutions across industries. Their partnership combines Cumulocity’s fast, flexible device management platform with Microsoft Azure’s powerful cloud infrastructure and connected security capabilities.

Cumulocity enables businesses to connect devices, collect data, and act on insights—all without writing custom code. It supports a wide range of protocols and device types, making it easy to scale across different environments. Microsoft Azure enhances this with secure data services, global availability, and enterprise-grade compliance.

Security is a key pillar of the collaboration. Microsoft’s tools like Entra ID and Defender XDR integrate with Cumulocity to provide identity management, threat detection, and policy enforcement. This ensures that only authorized users can access systems and that data remains protected throughout its lifecycle.

The partnership also supports hybrid and edge deployments. Azure’s Adaptive Cloud Framework allows Cumulocity to process data locally while maintaining centralized control. This is critical for industries that rely on real-time decision-making, such as manufacturing, logistics, and energy.

Together, Cumulocity and Microsoft offer a solution that’s fast to deploy, easy to manage, and built for scale. Customers benefit from reduced complexity, improved security, and faster time to value. Whether launching a new IoT initiative or expanding an existing one, this partnership provides the tools and trust needed to succeed.
