Netwrix, known for its efforts in identity and data protection, has announced an expansion in its partnership with Microsoft.
This move involves utilizing Microsoft Azure as a foundational cloud platform to support the company's ongoing growth and operational scaling. By harnessing Azure, Netwrix aims to improve the scalability, performance, and security of its 1Secure™ platform, with the goal of enhancing data visibility and managing access in both hybrid and cloud environments.
Enhanced Collaboration with Microsoft
This strategic alliance signifies a closer cooperation between Netwrix and Microsoft, with Azure playing a critical role in areas such as platform delivery, data processing, and security services. This aligns with Netwrix's objective of expanding its global presence.
Grady Summers, CEO of Netwrix, states, “The identity and data security problem is getting harder faster than most organizations can keep up with. We’ve built Netwrix to give security teams the visibility and control they actually need — not just for cloud workloads, but across the hybrid complexity most enterprises live in. Azure lets us scale that without compromise.”
Improved Data Discovery and Governance

This integration also supports businesses aiming to align their security investments with their existing Microsoft Azure commitments.
Alistair Speirs, General Manager of Azure Global Infrastructure at Microsoft, comments, “Organizations require a secure and scalable cloud platform to support their data and identity security needs.
