Azure Storage is the base for nearly all IaaS services. It's a high scalable, available, and fully virtualized cloud storage solution that can be used to provide storage space in many ways.
When talking about storage security it's very important to remember that all earlier discussed security measures such as RBAC or strict identity management should already be deployed.
After that is ensured, it's useful to leverage the special security abilities of Azure Storage. These include:
- Shared access signatures
- Data encryption in transit
- Storage account encryption at rest
- Virtual Hard Disk encryption
- Advanced analytics
