Case Study: Durham County enhances hybrid security with Microsoft Azure

Durham County improves remote access with solutions from F5 and Microsoft

Durham County faced a security challenge in its hybrid environment, especially after a malware incident, and needed a way to enforce consistent policies across systems and devices. The county used Microsoft Azure services, including Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Azure AD Conditional Access, along with F5 BIG-IP APM to strengthen access control.

Microsoft Azure helped Durham County apply uniform security policies across its hybrid environment by integrating Azure AD with F5 BIG-IP APM and Microsoft Mobile Endpoint Manager to verify employee devices. This improved security oversight and device-based access checks, helping the county respond more effectively to the malware event and better protect its government network.
