Overview

Full scope of all security solutions across Azure and M365
What capabilities they bring
- It’s not important how to implement them
Which products are the best solution for what case

Zero Trust

Verify Explicitly
Use least privilege
Assume breach

Identity

Identity Protection - P2
- Signal of attack
MFA
- Included in P1
Security Defaults
- MFA available without P1 and P2 license
- Conditional Access settings cant be changed
Conditional Access - P1
- Identity Protection risk uses Conditional Access
Defender for Identity
- Installs Agents on Domain controllers
- Checks for compromises
- Advanced Threat Protection in the past
AAD Connect
- Password Hash sync recommended
  - Can look for leaked credentials
B2B (Partners)
- Possible to add them as guests
- MSA
- Gmail
- SAML
Customers
- We dont want customers in our AAD
- We are using AAD B2C
  - Customer can use their social account in the B2C instance
  - We can also provide accounts
  - Its completely different from the normal AAD

Endpoint

Possible Endpoints
- Computers
- Mobile
- IoT
- Printers
- …
Networks
- Corporate
- Internet
- Private
Steps
- Register the devices to the AAD, to be known identities
  - Allows managing, for example with policies or track compliance
Solutions
- Microsoft Endpoint Manager
  - Intune
    - All about internet connected devices
    - Policy compliance information can be used in Conditional Access
    - Configuration
    - Inventory
  - Configuration Manager / Config Mgr
    - Devices on network
  - Co-Management
    - Both tools can be used
    - it can be decided which feature from cloud or onpremise
- Defender for Endpoint
  - About
    - Protect
    - Detect
    - Respond
- Defender for Servers
  - About
    - Adaptive App Hardening
      - It looks what normally run and builds an allowlist and stop unusual applications
      - File Integrity Monitoring (FIM)
        
        Core os files, core application files
        
        Stops changes
Network

tip
We don’t trust Network!

Networks
- Segmented
- Network Security Groups (NSG) [Layer 4]
  - Rules
    - Ports, IP, Protocol, Action
  - Is being attached to vNets
  - Application Security Groups are attached to a NIC
    - Can checks for tags on the resource and apply different rules
  - Adaptive Network Hardening (from Defender for Servers)
    - Builds recommendation depending on what it has seen on the NSG
- User Defined Routes (UDR)
- Firewall
- Azure Front Door
  - Global Service
  - L7
  - WAF can be added
- Application Gateway
  - Regional
  - L7
  - WAF can be added
- DDOS Standard can be added to a vNet for extra protection Azure DDoS Protection Overview | Microsoft Learn
- Service Endpoint
  - Type Service1
  - A vNet can become a Service Endpoint object
- Private Endpoint (part of Private Link service)
  - Can replace the public endpoint
- vNet Integration
  - Makes it possible for a service to talk outbound directly with private IP addresses in Azure
