Azure Security Center to strengthen your cloud security posture

We understand that security is priority number one in the cloud, and we understand how critical it is for you to find accurate and timely information regarding Azure security. One of the most compelling reasons to adopt Azure for your applications and services is to leverage its extensive set of security tools and capabilities. These tools and capabilities aid in the development of secure solutions on the secure Azure platform. Microsoft Azure ensures customer data confidentiality, integrity, and availability while also enabling transparent accountability.

Microsoft Sentinel: - Microsoft Sentinel provides cognitive security analytics and threat information across the company, acting as a single point of contact for attack detection, threat visibility, proactive hunting, and threat response.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud: - Microsoft Defender for Cloud provides enhanced visibility and control over the security of your Azure resources to help you prevent, detect, and respond to threats.

Azure Resource Manager: - You can use Azure Resource Manager to work with the resources in your solution as a group. You can deploy, update, or delete all of your solution's resources in a single, synchronized process. 

Application Insights: - Application Insights is a web developer-friendly extendable Application Performance Management (APM) solution. With Application Insights, you can monitor your live web apps and find performance problems automatically. 

Azure Monitor: - Azure Monitor provides visualization, querying, routing, alerting, auto-scaling, and automation on data from both the Azure subscription (Activity Log) and specific Azure resources (Resource Logs).

Azure Monitor logs: - Azure Monitor logs can be a useful tool in forensic and other security investigations because the tool allows you to search through massive amounts of security-related information fast using a customizable query strategy.

Azure Advisor: - Advisor is a personalized cloud expert who assists you in adhering to best practices in order to maximize your Azure deployments. It examines your resource configuration and consumption data before recommending solutions to help you increase the cost-effectiveness, performance, Reliability (previously known as High availability), and security of your Azure resources.

What is Cyber Security

Image
  While cyber threats affect every organization and every individual, governments face unique challenges. The recent Executive Order on Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Infrastructure represents a key example of the growing pressure on government agencies to increase their efforts around protecting highly sensitive data and systems. To help our customers address their security challenges, we are announcing the preview of  Azure Security Center  for Azure Government. Security Center delivers unified security management for hybrid cloud workloads, with continuous monitoring as well as security assessments and recommendations. Coupled with advanced threat protection to identify and mitigate risk and reduce exposure, this enables government cloud security teams to better protect their data, networks, and IT infrastructure from cyberattacks. With Security Center, government customers can more easily: Understand security state across on-premises and cloud...

Adaptive network hardening in Azure Security Center is generally available

  One of the biggest attack surfaces for workloads running in the public cloud is connections to and from the public internet. Our customers find it hard to know which  network security group (NSG)  rules should be in place to make sure that Azure workloads are only available to required source ranges. With the release of the adaptive network hardening feature, Azure Security Center learns the network traffic and connectivity patterns of your Azure workloads and provides you with NSG rule recommendations for your internet-facing virtual machines.  This helps you better configure your network access policies and limit your exposure to attacks, even when there are already filtering rules in place, as the filtering rules may be too permissive or the actual traffic flowing through the NSG is a subset of the NSG rules defined. In this case, you can further improve the security posture by hardening the NSG rules, based on the actual traffic patterns. Azure Security Center ...
