Description Azure Private Link lets you connect your virtual networks 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 App Service, you can reduce data leakage risks.

Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 NS-2 Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_NS-2 Microsoft cloud security benchmark NS-2 Network Security NS-2 Secure cloud services with network controls Shared **Security Principle:** Secure cloud services by establishing a private access point for the resources. You should also disable or restrict access from public network when possible. **Azure Guidance:** Deploy private endpoints for all Azure resources that support the Private Link feature, to establish a private access point for the resources. You should also disable or restrict public network access to services where feasible. For certain services, you also have the option to deploy VNet integration for the service where you can restrict the VNET to establish a private access point for the service. **Implementation and additional context:** Understand Azure Private Link: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/private-link/private-link-overview n/a link 126
