What security services does Azure offer?
Azure offers a range of security services designed to protect your data, resources, and applications. These include identity and access management solutions like Microsoft Entra ID, which enables single sign-on access to thousands of applications and enforces multifactor authentication. Azure also provides security monitoring, alerts, and machine learning-based reports to identify potential security risks. Additionally, Azure Rights Management helps secure files and emails, while the Web Application Firewall protects web applications from common vulnerabilities.
How does Azure manage user identities?
Azure employs Microsoft Entra ID to manage user identities across hybrid environments. This service allows organizations to create and manage a single identity for each user, ensuring synchronization across devices and applications. It also facilitates single sign-on access to various applications, automates user provisioning based on organizational roles, and enforces security through multifactor authentication and Conditional Access policies.
What are Azure's data protection strategies?
Azure employs several strategies for data protection. For data at rest, Azure recommends encryption practices to secure information stored on physical media. For data in transit, it advises using SSL/TLS protocols to safeguard data exchanges between locations. Azure also supports VPN connections for secure access and offers Azure Rights Management to protect files and emails, ensuring that data remains secure even outside organizational boundaries.
