Securing Azure App Service

There are several mechanisms you can use to enhance the security of your application on Azure. As part of the AZ-104 exam, you will explore the configuration options that are native to the web application directly. However, note that for real-world implementations, you should investigate additional measures for enhancing the security of your applications, such as employing a firewall – especially a web application firewall – for your web-based applications. These services provide traffic that’s in line with your application and scan for disallowed or heuristic behavior.

In this exercise, you will look at various native application configurations that can be used to increase the security level of your App Service instances. This has been broken up into several sections as part of a single exercise to help you understand the segmentation of settings better and make it easier to reference later.
