Security technical capabilities in Azure - Microsoft Azure
Businesses are under constant pressure to balance innovation with security. This Microsoft blog outlines the built-in security capabilities of Azure, detailing how the platform protects data, applications, and infrastructure across hybrid and multicloud environments. Read the blog to see how Azure simplifies security for modern workloads and contact Ozkar Services to discuss how these capabilities can protect your organization's cloud environment.
What security capabilities does Azure offer?
Azure provides a range of security services designed to protect your data, resources, and applications. These include identity and access management solutions, such as Microsoft Entra ID, which enables single sign-on access and multifactor authentication. Azure also offers security monitoring, alerts, and machine learning-based reports to identify potential security risks. Additionally, Azure's role-based access control (RBAC) allows organizations to manage user permissions effectively, ensuring that employees have only the access they need.
How does Azure protect data in transit?
To protect data in transit, Azure recommends using SSL/TLS protocols for secure data exchange. Organizations can also utilize virtual private networks (VPNs) to isolate communication channels between on-premises infrastructure and Azure. For larger data sets, Azure offers dedicated high-speed WAN links like ExpressRoute, which can also be encrypted at the application level for added security.
What is Microsoft Entra and how does it enhance security?
Microsoft Entra is an identity management service that extends on-premises Active Directory into the cloud. It allows users to access both cloud and on-premises applications using a single organizational account. Entra enhances security by enabling multifactor authentication, providing centralized access governance, and offering security monitoring and alerts. This helps organizations manage user identities effectively while safeguarding access to sensitive applications and data.
