Hardening your Azure Cloud Server in the UAE
Azure cloud server hardening made easy-peacy for UAE businesses
What is Azure cloud server
Azure, a cloud computing platform from Microsoft, offers a variety of services to businesses, government agencies, and public entities across the UAE that need to build and run applications on the internet.
They provide services including storage, networking, analytics, virtual computing, Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
It was previously known as Microsoft Azure and helps organizations and developers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah to access and manage cloud services and resources, which include the storage and transformation of data from one to another, based on specific business requirements.
Benefits of Hardening Azure Cloud Server
Even though Azure is more secure than on-premise computing solutions, Azure is still vulnerable to a variety of vulnerabilities such as access toke abuse and leakage, lateral movement from compromised workloads, and server-side request forgery aka SSRF.Â
These vulnerabilities allow a bad actor to perform a variety of attacks including access token server-side application abuse, altering the internal resources, and data extortion to external sources.
Conducting a comprehensive Azure cloud server hardening for UAE businesses with a proper in-depth cybersecurity strategy would help prevent and mitigate the attacks, ensuring your applications are safe from vulnerabilities. This also helps prevent DDoS attacks, ensures compliance with UAE standards and regulations (PDPL, NESA, ISO 27001), and improves resource utilization optimization across various costs and technologies.
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Strong authentication and role-based access controls (RBAC) will be implemented along with enforcing the least privilege principles towards preventing unauthorized access to the resources in the Azure environment for UAE businesses.
Network Security Groups (NSGs)
The inbound and outbound traffic will be configured in the NSGs, at the network level. Restriction to unnecessary communications also shall be defined and applied.
Azure Security Center
Efficient threat detection, VA/PT, and intelligent security insights shall be implemented by implementing the Azure security center.
Patch Management and System updates
A watertight patch management process towards ensuring regular security patches to all the Azure services shall be implemented for businesses operating in the UAE.
