Securing an 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, we 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, we will look at various native application configurations that can be used to increase the security level of your app services:
- Navigate to the App Service plan you worked on in the previous exercise.
- From the left menu blade, under the Settings context, click Configuration. The first tab you will be greeted with is called Application settings...
