How ISVs can Protect Cloud Infrastructure with Azure Security Center

As ISVs move their workloads to the cloud, security has become more of a priority for them. Azure Security Center is a cloud-native security solution that helps ISVs, and other organisations, protect their cloud infrastructure from threats. In this blog, we will explore what Azure Security Center is, it’s features, and how it can help you secure your cloud infrastructure.

What is The Azure Security Center?

Azure Security Center is a cloud-native security solution that provides unified security management and advanced threat protection for your hybrid cloud workloads. It offers a centralized view of your security posture across your Azure resources, on-premises resources, and other cloud providers. Azure Security Center leverages machine learning and security analytics to detect and respond to threats in real-time.

Key Features of Azure Security Center

1. Security Policy Management: Azure Security Center provides a security policy management framework that enables you to create, assign, and enforce security policies across your Azure resources. The security policy management framework includes built-in policies based on industry best practices, such as CIS (Center for Internet Security) and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).
2. Continuous Security Assessment: Azure Security Center continuously assesses your cloud infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. It provides recommendations for remediation based on severity levels.
3. Threat Detection: Azure Security Center uses machine learning and security analytics to detect and respond to threats in real-time. It provides advanced threat protection for your cloud infrastructure, including virtual machines, containers, and Azure services.
4. Regulatory Compliance: Azure Security Center helps you comply with various regulatory standards, such as PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

How to get started

To get started with Azure Security Center, you need to enable it for your Azure subscription. Once enabled, Azure Security Center starts assessing your cloud infrastructure and provides security recommendations based on the assessed risks. You can view the security recommendations in the Azure Security Center dashboard or through APIs.
