Key Azure Security Controls and How to Apply Them

Azure security controls protect identities, networks, data, and applications through MFA, Conditional Access, encryption, NSGs, firewalls, WAF, and DevSecOps. With Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, and Azure Policy, organizations can strengthen threat detection, enforce compliance, reduce attack surface, and securely scale cloud environments with automated governance and continuous monitoring.

  1. Key Azure Security Controls and How to Apply Them Strengthening Cloud Security with Proven Azure Practices Aligned with core azure security controls www.hexacorp.com

  2. Why Azure Security Controls Matter Protect identities, data, networks, and workloads Azure secures every layer of your cloud environment with strong identity controls, encryption, firewalls, and continuous threat protection. This ensures end-to-end security from unauthorized access and evolving cyber risks. Reduce attack surface across hybrid environments Zero-trust policies, segmentation, and least-privilege access minimize exposure across on-premises and cloud systems. This reduces entry points attackers can exploit and strengthens your overall security posture. Maintain compliance with industry standards Azure provides built-in frameworks, automated audits, and policy enforcement aligned with ISO, HIPAA, SOC, and GDPR. This helps you stay compliant effortlessly and avoid regulatory risks. Enable secure growth and innovation on Azure With automated governance, secure DevOps, and strong baseline controls, teams can innovate confidently. You scale applications and services faster without compromising security.

  3. Identity & Access Controls Key Controls How to Apply Them Enforce MFA for all users and admins Use Conditional Access policies for device, risk, and location Assign least-privilege roles using RBAC Enable risk-based sign-in protection Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Conditional Access Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Azure AD Identity Protection

  4. Key Controls Network Security Groups (NSGs) Azure Firewall Private Endpoints & Service Endpoints DDoS Protection Network Security Controls How to Apply Them Restrict inbound/outbound traffic with NSGs Enforce perimeter security using Azure Firewall Use Private Endpoints to eliminate public exposure Enable DDoS Protection Standard for critical workloads

  5. Data Protection Controls Key Controls Encryption at Rest & In Transit Azure Key Vault Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Storage Access Policies Key Controls Encryption at Rest & In Transit Azure Key Vault Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Storage Access Policies How to Apply Them Enable encryption with customer-managed or Microsoft-managed keys Store secrets, keys, and certificates in Key Vault Apply DLP policies for sensitive data types Restrict storage access using SAS tokens and ACLs Store secrets, keys, and certificates in Key Vault Apply DLP policies for sensitive data types Restrict storage access using SAS tokens and ACLs How to Apply Them Enable encryption with customer-managed or Microsoft-managed keys

  6. Key Controls Web Application Firewall (WAF) API Management + OAuth Secure DevOps / DevSecOps Vulnerability Scanning Application & API Security Controls How to Apply Them Protect web apps from OWASP threats using WAF Use API Management for throttling, authentication & monitoring Integrate security scans in CI/CD pipelines Perform regular code & dependency checks.

  7. Key Controls Microsoft Defender for Cloud Azure Sentinel (SIEM) Azure Monitor Log Analytics How to Apply Them Enable Defender for Cloud for posture management Centralize logs and incidents in Sentinel Configure Azure Monitor for metrics & alerts Use Log Analytics for deep investigation and insights. Monitoring & Threat Detection Controls

  8. Key Controls Azure Policy Blueprints Compliance Manager Resource Locks How to Apply Them Governance Controls Enforce secure configurations with Azure Policy Use Blueprints to deploy compliant environments Run compliance checks regularly Apply Resource Locks to prevent accidental deletion.

  9. Start with Identity & Zero Trust Apply encryption and secure access everywhere Limit internet exposure using Private Links Audit and monitor continuously Automate security with policies and DevSecOps pipelines. Best Practices Summary

  10. Transitioning from On-Premise AD to Azure AD builds a stronger, more scalable, and secure identity foundation. With the right strategy and phased execution, organizations can simplify access management and accelerate cloud readiness. Begin your Azure AD modernization journey with HexaCorp — your trusted partner for secure identity transformation. www.hexacorp.com
