Recipes also explain the approach and provide meaningful context. The solutions in this cookbook will take you beyond theory and help you understand Azure services in practice.

Data breaches happen frequently these days. Hackers, and malicious users target IT systems in small, mid sized, and big organizations. These attacks cost millions of dollars every year, but cost is not the only damage. Targeted companies will be on the news for days, weeks, or even years, and they will suffer a permanent damage to their reputation, and customer base. In most cases, lawsuits will follow. You might be under the impression that public cloud services are very secure. After all, companies such as Microsoft spend millions of dollars improving their platform security. But applications, and data systems hosted in the Microsoft’s public cloud (as well as any other cloud providers) are not immune to cyber attacks. In fact, they are more prone to data breaches because of the public nature of the cloud.

It is critical to understand that cloud security is the common responsibility shared between Microsoft Azure, and you. Azure will provide data center physical security, guidelines, documentation, and powerful tools and services to help you protect your workloads. The responsibility to correctly configure resource security lies with you. For instance, Azure Cosmos DB can be configured to accept traffic from only a specific network, but the default behavior allows all clients, even from the public internet.
