Study Notes
Azure Backup and Security for Ransomware
- Requiring PINs for critical operations like deleting or modifying backups adds a layer of security that mitigates ransomware threats by preventing unauthorized access.
- Azure Monitor notifications for changes in backup configurations allow proactive monitoring and alert administrators to potential malicious activities.
- Enabling soft delete does not directly prevent ransomware attacks but provides an option for recovering deleted backups.
- Encrypting backups using customer-managed keys (CMKs) strengthens data protection at rest and in transit, but does not address ransomware's potential to disable backups directly.
- Offline backups to Azure Data Box offer data redundancy but require additional steps for restoration and do not integrate as seamlessly with Azure Backup for rapid recovery in a ransomware attack.
Microsoft Purview and Data Discovery
- Data Catalog is a service within Microsoft Purview Data Map that automatically scans and classifies data across on-premises and cloud environments.
Mitigating Impacts of Ransomware Attacks in Azure
- Refining backup and restore procedures are crucial for minimizing the impact of ransomware attacks.
- User education on cyber-attack prevention is essential as well.
Zero Trust RaMP and Ransomware Readiness
- The data, compliance, and governance initiative within Zero Trust RaMP prioritizes ransomware recovery readiness.
Web App Security and Domain Takeovers
- When a website is removed but its custom domain remains unregistered, the DNS entry can point to a non-existent resource, leaving the subdomain susceptible to takeover.
Data Security in Azure Workloads
- Always Encrypted is a security solution designed to encrypt sensitive data in specific database columns, preventing access even to privileged accounts without the correct encryption key.
- Dynamic data masking hides sensitive data without encrypting it, so it is not a solution to prevent malicious actors from acquiring sensitive data.
- Azure SQL Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) encrypts the entire database and backups.
Ransomware Protection and Privileged Access Management (PAM)
- Azure Backup protects data, but PAM prevents attackers from acquiring administrative permissions, limiting the potential damage.
- Azure Update Management automates operating system updates for Windows and Linux virtual machines, contributing to a more secure environment but does not directly prevent ransomware.
- Security baselines strengthen settings within specific resources but do not prevent attackers from obtaining administrative access.
Security & Compliance for Microsoft 365 & Azure
-
Secure Score awards points for recommended actions
- Enabling MFA for all users (9 points)
- Enabling MFA for all users in admin roles (10 points)
- Blocking legacy authentication (7 points)
-
Intune is used to manage devices
- Supports Windows, Android, iOS/iPadOS, macOS
- Controls device features, validates compliance, and remote actions (lock, restart, locate, factory reset)
Secure Web App Design
-
Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architecture (MCRA) & Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark (MCSB) provide design principles
-
PV-2: Audit and enforce secure configurations
- Turn off remote debugging
-
PV-7: Conduct regular red team operations
- Conduct regular penetration testing
-
PV-2: Audit and enforce secure configurations
Application Management Security
-
Defender for Cloud Apps offers application security features
- Detects unusual behavior related to cloud apps
- Inventories existing applications
- Identifies unauthorized applications
- Assesses compliance of applications
Azure Deployment Architectures
-
Azure Landing Zones provide guidance for deployment architectures
- Platform Landing Zones are for platform resources
- Application Landing Zones are for application resources
Securely Managing Multi-Tenant Microsoft Sentinel
-
Azure Lighthouse allows secure access to Microsoft Sentinel workspaces in multiple tenants
- Requires a single account
Automating Security Alerts and Remediation
-
Microsoft Defender for Cloud uses Azure Logic Apps to automate security workflows
- Triggers logic apps based on security alerts, recommendations, and compliance changes
Privileged Identity Management - Zero Trust
-
Microsoft Azure Privileged Identity Management (RaMP)- is a framework for zero trust privileged identity management
- This framework is designed for creating a more secure and compliant environment by managing privileged accounts and access.
Secure Hybrid Cloud Environments
-
Microsoft Sentinel collects security and operations logs in hybrid environments
- Resource-based role-based access control (RBAC) limits user access to specific logs
- Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Conditional Access Policies further restrict access based on conditions
Security & Compliance Requirements
- Microsoft Operational Security Assurance (OSA) provides operational security standards for compliance
- Enhanced Security Admin Environment (ESAE) is a security approach for on-premises infrastructure
Azure Landing Zones
- Azure Landing Zones provide a consistent secure standard for deploying new resources.
- PV-1: Define and establish secure configurations MCSB control defines security configuration baselines for different cloud resource types.
Microsoft Defender for Cloud
- Defender for Cloud offers free Foundational CSPM capabilities including Multicloud coverage and Centralized policy management.
- Other CSPM capabilities, such as Attack path analysis, Security governance, Cloud security explorer, are part of a paid CSPM Defender plan.
Azure Bastion
- When deploying Azure Bastion, a custom subnet named AzureBastionSubnet with a subnet address range of /26 or larger must be created.
Privacy Risk Management in Microsoft Priva
- Helps identify privacy risks in a Microsoft 365 environment with easy remediation.
- Detects overexposed personal data.
- Limits transfers of personal data.
- Identifies unused personal data.
Microsoft Sentinel
- Includes Workbooks which are customized views for analyzing security and operational events.
- Workbooks offer text, metrics, and data from various sources in a unified view.
- Combines data from Azure Monitor and other log sources.
Microsoft Sentinel Security Operations
- Custom collectors using the Log Analytics agent allow Security operations teams to access security logs and operational logs.
- Resource-based Role-based Access Control (RBAC) ensures that IT operations teams only have access to operational logs, including the event logs of servers in the perimeter network.
Microsoft 365 and Azure AD
- The customer has a Microsoft 365 subscription.
- The customer uses the free edition of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
