Overview of this book

Security is integrated into every cloud, but this makes users put their guard down as they take cloud security for granted. Although the cloud provides higher security, keeping their resources secure is one of the biggest challenges many organizations face as threats are constantly evolving. Microsoft Azure offers a shared responsibility model that can address any challenge with the right approach. Revised to cover product updates up to early 2022, this book will help you explore a variety of services and features from Microsoft Azure that can help you overcome challenges in cloud security. You'll start by learning the most important security concepts in Azure, their implementation, and then advance to understanding how to keep resources secure. The book will guide you through the tools available for monitoring Azure security and enforcing security and governance the right way. You'll also explore tools to detect threats before they can do any real damage and those that use machine learning and AI to analyze your security logs and detect anomalies. By the end of this cloud security book, you'll have understood cybersecurity in the cloud and be able to design secure solutions in Microsoft Azure.

Chapter 1: An Introduction to Azure Security

When cloud computing comes up in a conversation, security is, very often, the main topic. When data leaves local data centers, many wonder what happens to it. We are used to having complete control over everything, from physical servers, networks, and hypervisors, to applications and data. Then, all of a sudden, we are supposed to transfer much of that to someone else. It's natural to feel a little tension and distrust at the beginning, but, if we dig deep, we'll see that cloud computing can offer us more security than we could ever achieve on our own.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service provided through Microsoft-managed data centers dispersed around the world. Azure data centers are built to top industry standards and comply with all the relevant certification authorities, such as ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and NIST SP 800-53, to name a couple. These standards guarantee that Microsoft Azure is built to provide security and reliability.

In this chapter, we'll learn about Azure security concepts and how security is structured in Microsoft Azure data centers, using the following topics:

  • Exploring the shared responsibility model
  • Physical security
  • Azure network
  • Azure infrastructure availability
  • Azure infrastructure integrity
  • Azure infrastructure monitoring
  • Understanding Azure security foundations
