Azure cloud security reference architectures

A security reference architecture suggests the optimal delivery of specific technologies to solve certain problems. There are many solution architectures for Azure cloud security, and we will focus on two subjects – Azure hybrid infrastructure, Azure SIEM and SOAR.

Azure hybrid cloud infrastructure

The Azure hybrid cloud infrastructure architecture is a framework provided by Microsoft to guide organizations in designing and implementing a hybrid cloud environment. It combines the capabilities of on-premises infrastructure with Azure cloud services, enabling seamless integration, scalability, and flexibility. Figure 15.1 shows an Azure hybrid cloud infrastructure:
