Implementing and managing network security
In this section, we cover some of the network security features available for AVD.
Azure network security overview
Microsoft Azure offers a wide range of protecting resources to prevent unauthorized access or attacks by applying network controls to the Azure VNet. These are as follows:
- Azure networking
- Network access control
- Azure Firewall
- Secure remote access and cross-premises connectivity
- Availability
- Name resolution
- Perimeter network (DMZ) architecture
- Azure DDoS protection
- Monitoring and threat detection
This section provides a high-level overview and we will now look at specific network connectivity requirements for AVD.
Understanding AVD network connectivity
AVD uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to connect to an AVD deployment. The RDP connection is responsible for providing display and input functions over a network connection.
