Identifying and Remediating Windows Server Security Issues Using Azure Services

We will continue building upon our security knowledge and experience from the previous chapter by building and reviewing additional depth-in-defense approaches to assist in monitoring and responding to performance and security. We will learn how to successfully monitor virtual machines running both on-premises and in Azure using Azure Arc, Azure Monitor, and Microsoft Sentinel, allowing for telemetry and metrics insights, analysis, and response. We will also cover how to onboard devices into Microsoft Defender for Cloud (MDC) so that we can proactively identify and remediate security issues wherever the virtual machine may be running within the infrastructure. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Technical requirements and lab setup
  • Monitoring on-premises servers and Azure IaaS VMs using Azure Arc, Azure Monitor, and Microsoft Sentinel
  • Identifying and remediating security...
