Security Center helps safeguard Windows servers and clients with Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection and helps protect Linux servers with behavioral analytics. For every attack attempted or carried out, you receive a detailed report and recommendations for remediation.Safeguard servers running in Azure and other clouds with advanced controls. Reduces your surface area exposed to RDP/SSH brute-force attack—one of the most common threats with more than 100,000 attack attempts on Azure VMs per month. Turn on Standard tier to mitigate this threat.As you add applications to VMs in Azure, block malicious apps, including those not mitigated by antimalware solutions, by using. Machine learning automatically applies new application whitelisting policies across your VMs. Breakthroughs in big data and machine learning make it possible for Security Center to detect anomalous database access and query patterns, SQL injection attacks, and other threats targeting your SQL databases in Azure.
A technical Overview of the security features in the Microsoft Azure Platform. For details on Windows Azure security, see Trust Center – Security. Databases Databases Support rapid growth and innovate faster with secure, enterprise-grade, and fully managed database services. The New Perimeter. The data center perimeter, then, must be protected at all modern entrance gates. This extends from the network edge and the corporate firewall outward to mobile applications and the cloud, and inward to every employee and every device. But that’s a daunting task for anyone.
Receive alerts on suspicious activity and recommended actions for investigating and mitigating these threats. Discover, classify, label, and protect sensitive data in your databases. Stop threats on your Azure Storage including access from an unusual location, unusual anonymous access, unusual data extraction or an unexpected delete. Get a unified view of security across all of your on-premises and cloud workloads, including your Azure IoT solution.
Automatically discover and onboard new devices and apply security policies across your workloads (Leaf devices, Edge devices, IOT Hub) to ensure compliance with security standards. Continuously monitor the security of IoT devices, machines, networks, and Azure services, including your Azure IoT solution from edge devices to applications, using hundreds of built-in security assessments or create your own in a central dashboard. Optimize your security settings and improve your security score with actionable recommendations across virtual machines, networks, apps and data. With newly added IoT capabilities, you can now reduce attack surface for your Azure IoT solution and remediate issues before they can be exploited. Monitor your IoT solution for incoming attacks and post-breach activity. Quickly set up and extend security beyond Azure. Extend security posture management and threat protection to on-premises VMs.
Easily provision an agent to server workloads running on-premises. Assess your security through a unified view across your hybrid cloud workloads. Connect to existing tools and processes, like security information and event management (SIEM), or integrate partner security solutions. Reduce investments and reallocate resources by using built-in first-party or third-party security controls.
