The Azure Data Box provides a more secure method for quick and simple transfer of data to Azure.  Customers can easily connect it to their network, and then load data onto the Data Box using standard NAS protocols.  Data is automatically protected using 256-AES encryption.  The Data Box is then returned to the Azure Data Center to be uploaded to Azure, then the device is securely erased.
