Description Azure Private Link lets you connect your virtual network to Azure services without a public IP address at the source or destination. The Private Link platform handles the connectivity between the consumer and services over the Azure backbone network. By mapping private endpoints to your storage account, data leakage risks are reduced. Learn more about private links at - https://aka.ms/azureprivatelinkoverview

DisplayName: Storage account should use a private link connection
Description: Private links in a storage account are important for enforcing secure communication.
They provide private connectivity to the storage account, ensuring that data is securely transmitted and protected from potential threats.
If a private link connection is not used, the storage account may be exposed to risks such as data breaches or unauthorized access.

Remediation description: To enforce secure communications for your storage accounts, add a private endpoint as described here: https://aka.ms/connectprivatelytostorageaccount.
