Any IT professional can tell you that managing security is a top
priority and even more so when working in the cloud. Access to accurate
and timely security information is critical, but governance and control
must first be enabled. This guide shows you how to take advantage of
Azure's vast and powerful built-in security tools and capabilities for
your application workloads.
Pro Azure Governance and Security offers a comprehensive look at
the governance features available with Microsoft Azure and demonstrates
how to integrate them with your hybrid and Azure environments, drawing
on the author's experiences from years in the field. Learn about the
array of controls implemented within Microsoft Azure from two valuable
perspectives: the customer and Microsoft operations.
Beginning with the top-level subscription hierarchy, learn about the
most important built-in Azure security services and features, as well as
how to use Azure Policies and Blueprints as a means for security and
governance. A series of hands-on exercises teaches you the concepts of
Azure Governance: how to enable and deploy Azure Security Center,
integrate RBAC (role-based access control), and set up Azure Operations
and Monitoring. Get introduced to the new Azure Sentinel solution that
offers SIEM as a service for security incident management and proactive
hunting.
