In this tutorial, we will learn and understand the security baslines for Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft’s cybersecurity group and the Center for Internet Security (CIS), have developed best practices to help in establishing security baselines for the Azure platform. However, a baseline is the implementation of the benchmark on the individual Azure service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, CIS benchmarks have been used with Azure security services and tools to make security and compliance easier for customer applications running on Azure services. Every service comes with a baseline that’s already designed to help provide security for most common use cases. These baselines also provide a consistent experience when securing your environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Azure Security Benchmark<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A benchmark contains security recommendations for a specific technology, such as Azure. The Azure Security Benchmark (ASB) provides prescriptive best practices and recommendations for improving the security of workloads, data, and services on Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the ASB focuses on cloud-centric control areas. These controls are consistent with well-known security benchmarks. The areas covered include network security, identity management, posture and vulnerability management, and endpoint security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
