Mastering Azure Security

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

Key benefits

  • Learn how to secure your Azure cloud workloads across applications and networks
  • Protect your Azure infrastructure from cyber attacks
  • Discover tips and techniques for implementing, deploying, and maintaining secure cloud services using best practices

Description

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.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Azure cloud professionals, Azure architects, and security professionals looking to implement secure cloud services using Azure Security Centre and other Azure security features. A solid understanding of fundamental security concepts and prior exposure to the Azure cloud will help you understand the key concepts covered in the book more effectively.

What you will learn

  • Become well-versed with cloud security concepts
  • Get the hang of managing cloud identities
  • Understand the zero-trust approach
  • Adopt the Azure security cloud infrastructure
  • Protect and encrypt your data
  • Grasp Azure network security concepts
  • Discover how to keep cloud resources secure
  • Implement cloud governance with security policies and rules

Book introduces you to cloud security and guides you through different areas, from identity to network security. It finishes with some advanced things like Defender and Sentinel. As cloud changes rapidly, I love that it focuses on principle of security, but at the same time it provides lots of hands-on. Would recommend both for beginners and advanced IT professionals.

The book covers three main security topics in Azure: identity and governance, cloud infrastructure security, and security management. It starts with an introduction to Azure security, governance, and cloud identities. While these topics seem “too fundamental” at first, they are not, but necessary to start with a solid security foundation in Azure.I’m glad to see that multi-factor authentication, authentication and Azure AD PIM, as important topics, authors have introduced at the beginning of the book. Most important topics (well, everything is important in security, isn’t it? 😊) make second part, where vital topics are concisely described, along with practical examples.Finally, security monitoring and security management are equally important – Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel are practically explained, where security best practices as a valuable addition rounds up the last chapter. Whether you are beginning with security in Azure, or want to broaden your security horizons, this book will provide valuable information.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
