Azure Security Services
Protection for what matters. Move Confidently to the Cloud with Azure
Introduction
In today’s data-driven, digital age, security is at the forefront of every organisation’s IT strategy. The adoption of cloud has completely changed how organisations manage the security of their data, network, applications and infrastructure.
Azure Security brings large array of customisable security options to safeguard and strengthen your data, infrastructure, applications, and security of your workloads, be it in the cloud, on-premises or in hybrid environments. Its built-in security services offer superior security intelligence that proactively detects threats for timely responses across hybrid cloud environments. Azure security helps you establish a layered defense mechanism across hosts and networks.
SR Cloud Solutions, a Managed Service Provider of Azure leverages Azure Security services to secure your resources from service threats, manage infrastructure and workload security, smart monitoring, security audits, identity & access management and more to provide complete security visibility and addresses a broad set of security compliance controls.
Azure Security Services
Identity & Access Management
At the heart of Azure and M365 is Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), which is an enterprise identity service that provides single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and conditional access to guard against 99.9 percent of cybersecurity attacks. Integrate with on premise Active Directory, Azure AD can be synced with an on-premises AD DS using Azure AD Connect to provide Single Sign On (SSO) to users who natively work in the cloud.
App & Data Protection
For data at rest, all data written to the Azure storage platform is encrypted through 256-bit AES encryption and is FIPS 140-2 compliant. Proper key management is essential. By default, Microsoft-managed keys protect your data, and Azure Key Vault helps ensure that encryption keys are properly secured. Control and help secure email, documents, and sensitive data that you share outside your company using Azure Information Protection.
Network Security
Our Azure Security Experts will help your business to strengthen its security posture by implementing products such as Azure Firewall, Azure DDoS Protection, Azure Web Application Firewall, Azure Bastion, Azure Front Door, Azure Application Gateway, Azure Key Vault, Azure Policy, and Azure Content Delivery Network. Utilising monitoring tools in Azure such as Azure Security Centre, Defender for Cloud, and Azure Sentinel.
Advanced Threat Protection
Azure ATP proactively detects advanced malicious attacks leveraging both cloud and on-premises signals, reducing false positives, and providing an end-to-end investigation experience including across endpoint and identity with Windows Defender ATP integration. Provide advanced protection for Azure SQL Database as the Azure platform provides additional protection for your database against SQL Injection attacks and Data Exfiltration, amongst other threats.
Security Management
Let our Azure Security Experts enhance your security management which forms the backbone of good cloud Governance and includes utilising Security Centre, Azure Role Based Access controls, Azure Privileged Identity Management (PIM), Defender for Cloud, Antimalware software from Trend Micro and Azure Policy to create, assign, manage security policy definitions in your Azure environment that you want controlled.
Security Audit
To make sure that the security posture doesn't degrade over time, have regular auditing that checks compliance with organisational standards. Compliance is important for several reasons. Aside from signifying levels of standards, like ISO 27001 and others, noncompliance with regulatory guidelines may bring sanctions and penalties. Set up a recurring review pattern to ensure that accounts are removed from permissions as roles change. Consider auditing at least twice a year.
