Azure Security and Frameworks

This article is contributed. See the original author and article here.

Azure provides several mechanisms how to secure Azure platform.

The most popular approach is through Azure Security Center.

ASC is a unified infrastructure security management system that strengthens the security posture of your data centers, and provides advanced threat protection across your hybrid workloads in the cloud – whether they’re in Azure or not – as well as on premises.

I’d like to highlight also another framework which I’m seeing in use with other customers – Secure DevOps Kit for Azure (AzSK)

The Secure DevOps Kit for Azure (AzSK) was created by the Core Services Engineering & Operations (CSEO) division at Microsoft, to help accelerate Microsoft IT’s adoption of Azure. Documentation with the community to provide guidance for rapidly scanning, deploying and operationalizing cloud resources, across the different stages of DevOps, while maintaining controls on security and governance.
