about the technology
Attacks against cloud-based applications are increasingly common and sophisticated. It’s vital for any developer or resource owner to understand how to properly configure their Azure cloud environments and establish reliable security best practices. The Azure platform comes with dozens of built-in security tools to help keep your systems safe. This book will teach you exactly how to set them up for maximum effectiveness.

Security is one of the greatest unsolved problems of our time. This complex problem set spans digital, physical, businesses, and individuals. Digital services have become an integral part of our lives in finance, health, transportation, our jobs, and even how we connect with each other. With all this, however, we’re outstripping our ability to provide security. If you think of the word security, by its very definition means free of threats or danger. But the more I think about it, isn’t the reality such that businesses are under constant threat? This concern is further highlighted by news headlines you can see daily about ransomware attacks, fraud, theft, public exposure of private data, espionage, and even attacks against physical infrastructure.

about the book
Azure Security is a practical guide to the native security services of Microsoft Azure. You’ll learn how to use Azure tools to improve your systems security and get an insider’s perspective on establishing a DevSecOps program using the capabilities of Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Insightful analogies and hands-on examples help demystify tricky security concepts, while clever exercises help reinforce what you’ve learned.
