MFA can be enforced on all users, select users, or at the per-user level based on sign-in conditions and risk factors. - Passwordless authentication: Three passwordless authentication options are available: Windows Hello for Business, Microsoft Authenticator app, and on-premises authentication methods such as smart cards. For administrator and privileged users, ensure the highest level of the strong authentication method is used, followed by rolling out the appropriate strong authentication policy to other users. If legacy password-based authentication is still used for Azure AD authentication, please be aware that cloud-only accounts (user accounts created directly in Azure) have a default baseline password policy. And hybrid accounts (user accounts that come from on-premises Active Directory) follow the on-premises password policies. When using password-based authentication, Azure AD provides a password protection capability that prevents users from setting passwords that are easy to guess. Microsoft provides a global list of banned passwords that is updated based on telemetry, and customers can augment the list based on their needs (e.g. branding, cultural references, etc.). This password protection can be used for cloud-only and hybrid accounts. Note: Authentication based on password credentials alone is susceptible to popular attack methods. For higher security, use strong authentication such as MFA and a strong password policy. For third-party applications and marketplace services that may have default passwords, you should change them during initial service setup.

Examples of audit logs include changes made to any resources within Azure AD like adding or removing users, apps, groups, roles and policies. - Risky sign-ins - A risky sign-in is an indicator for a sign-in attempt that might have been performed by someone who is not the legitimate owner of a user account. - Users flagged for risk - A risky user is an indicator for a user account that might have been compromised. Azure Security Center can also alert on certain suspicious activities such as an excessive number of failed authentication attempts, and deprecated accounts in the subscription. In addition to the basic security hygiene monitoring, Azure Security Center’s Threat Protection module can also collect more in-depth security alerts from individual Azure compute resources (such as virtual machines, containers, app service), data resources (such as SQL DB and storage), and Azure service layers. This capability allows you to see account anomalies inside the individual resources.

| Azure_Security_Benchmark_v2.0 | NS-1 | Azure_Security_Benchmark_v2.0_NS-1 | Azure Security Benchmark NS-1 | Network Security | Implement security for internal traffic | Customer | Ensure that all Azure virtual networks follow an enterprise segmentation principle that aligns to the business risks. Any system that could incur higher risk for the organization should be isolated within its own virtual network and sufficiently secured with either a network security group (NSG) and/or Azure Firewall. Based on your applications and enterprise segmentation strategy, restrict or allow traffic between internal resources based on network security group rules. For specific well-defined applications (such as a 3-tier app), this can be a highly secure "deny by default, permit by exception" approach. This might not scale well if you have many applications and endpoints interacting with each other. You can also use Azure Firewall in circumstances where central management is required over a large number of enterprise segments or spokes (in a hub/spoke topology). Use Azure Security Center Adaptive Network Hardening to recommend network security group configurations that limit ports and source IPs based with the reference to external network traffic rules. Use Azure Sentinel to discover the use of legacy insecure protocols such as SSL/TLSv1, SMBv1, LM/NTLMv1, wDigest, Unsigned LDAP Binds, and weak ciphers in Kerberos.

With these privileges, users can directly or indirectly read and modify every resource in your Azure environment: - Global Administrator / Company Administrator: Users with this role have access to all administrative features in Azure AD, as well as services that use Azure AD identities. - Privileged Role Administrator: Users with this role can manage role assignments in Azure AD, as well as within Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM). In addition, this role allows management of all aspects of PIM and administrative units. Note: You may have other critical roles that need to be governed if you use custom roles with certain privileged permissions assigned. And you may also want to apply similar controls to the administrator account of critical business assets. You can enable just-in-time (JIT) privileged access to Azure resources and Azure AD using Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM). JIT grants temporary permissions to perform privileged tasks only when users need it. PIM can also generate security alerts when there is suspicious or unsafe activity in your Azure AD organization.

| Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 | BR-2 | Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_BR-2 | Microsoft cloud security benchmark BR-2 | Backup and Recovery | Protect backup and recovery data | Shared | **Security Principle:** Ensure backup data and operations are protected from data exfiltration, data compromise, ransomware/malware and malicious insiders. The security controls that should be applied include user and network access control, data encryption at-rest and in-transit. **Azure Guidance:** Use Azure RBAC and multi-factor-authentication to secure the critical Azure Backup operations (such as delete, change retention, updates to backup config). For Azure Backup supported resources, use Azure RBAC to segregate duties and enable fine grained access, and create private endpoints within your Azure Virtual Network to securely backup and restore data from your Recovery Services vaults. For Azure Backup supported resources, backup data is automatically encrypted using Azure platform-managed keys with 256-bit AES encryption. You can also choose to encrypt the backups using customer managed key. In this case, ensure this customer-managed key in the Azure Key Vault is also in the backup scope. If you use customer-managed key options, use soft delete and purge protection in Azure Key Vault to protect keys from accidental or malicious deletion. For on-premises backups using Azure Backup, encryption-at-rest is provided using the passphrase you provide. Safeguard backup data from accidental or malicious deletion (such as ransomware attacks/attempts to encrypt or tamper backup data. For Azure Backup supported resources, enable soft delete to ensure recovery of items with no data loss for up to 14 days after an unauthorized deletion, and enable multifactor authentication using a PIN generated in the Azure portal. Also enable cross-region restore to ensure backup data is restorable when there is a disaster in primary region. Note: If you use resource's native backup feature or backup services other than Azure Backup, refer to the Azure Security Benchmark (and service baselines) to implement the above controls. **Implementation and additional context:** Overview of security features in Azure Backup: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/backup/security-overview Encryption of backup data using customer-managed keys: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/backup/encryption-at-rest-with-cmk Security features to help protect hybrid backups from attacks: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/backup/backup-azure-security-feature#prevent-attacks Azure Backup - set cross region restore https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/backup/backup-create-rs-vault#set-cross-region-restore | n/a | link | count: 004 Azure Backup should be enabled for Virtual Machines (013e242c-8828-4970-87b3-ab247555486d), Geo-redundant backup should be enabled for Azure Database for MariaDB (0ec47710-77ff-4a3d-9181-6aa50af424d0), Geo-redundant backup should be enabled for Azure Database for MySQL (82339799-d096-41ae-8538-b108becf0970), Geo-redundant backup should be enabled for Azure Database for PostgreSQL (48af4db5-9b8b-401c-8e74-076be876a430) |

Set the network boundary and service scope where data in transit encryption is mandatory inside and outside of the network. While this is optional for traffic on private networks, this is critical for traffic on external and public networks. **Azure Guidance:** Enforce secure transfer in services such as Azure Storage, where a native data in transit encryption feature is built in. Enforce HTTPS for workload web application and services by ensuring that any clients connecting to your Azure resources use transportation layer security (TLS) v1.2 or later. For remote management of VMs, use SSH (for Linux) or RDP/TLS (for Windows) instead of an unencrypted protocol.

When there is a need to use customer-managed key in the services, use a secured key vault service for key generation, distribution, and storage. Rotate and revoke your keys based on the defined schedule and when there is a key retirement or compromise. **Azure Guidance:** Use Azure Key Vault to create and control your encryption keys life cycle, including key generation, distribution, and storage. Rotate and revoke your keys in Azure Key Vault and your service based on the defined schedule and when there is a key retirement or compromise. When there is a need to use customer-managed key (CMK) in the workload services or applications, ensure you follow the best practices: - Use a key hierarchy to generate a separate data encryption key (DEK) with your key encryption key (KEK) in your key vault. - Ensure keys are registered with Azure Key Vault and implement via key IDs in each service or application. If you need to bring your own key (BYOK) to the services (i.e., importing HSM-protected keys from your on-premises HSMs into Azure Key Vault), follow the recommended guideline to perform the key generation and key transfer. Note: Refer to the below for the FIPS 140-2 level for Azure Key Vault types and FIPS compliance level. - Software-protected keys in vaults (Premium & Standard SKUs): FIPS 140-2 Level 1 - HSM-protected keys in vaults (Premium SKU): FIPS 140-2 Level 2 - HSM-protected keys in Managed HSM: FIPS 140-2 Level 3 **Implementation and additional context:** Azure Key Vault overview: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/key-vault/general/overview Azure data encryption at rest--Key Hierarchy: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security/fundamentals/encryption-atrest#key-hierarchy BYOK(Bring Your Own Key) specification: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/key-vault/keys/byok-specification | n/a | link | count: 003 API Management secret named values should be stored in Azure Key Vault (f1cc7827-022c-473e-836e-5a51cae0b249), Key Vault keys should have an expiration date (152b15f7-8e1f-4c1f-ab71-8c010ba5dbc0), Key Vault secrets should have an expiration date (98728c90-32c7-4049-8429-847dc0f4fe37) |

Ensure certificates used by the critical services in your organization are inventoried, tracked, monitored, and renewed timely using automated mechanism to avoid service disruption. **Azure Guidance:** Use Azure Key Vault to create and control the certificate lifecycle, including creation/import, rotation, revocation, storage, and purge of the certificate. Ensure the certificate generation follows the defined standard without using any insecure properties, such as insufficient key size, overly long validity period, insecure cryptography and so on. Setup automatic rotation of the certificate in Azure Key Vault and Azure service (if supported) based on the defined schedule and when there is a certificate expiration. If automatic rotation is not supported in the front application, use a manual rotation in Azure Key Vault. Avoid using self-signed certificate and wildcard certificate in your critical services due to the limited security assurance. Instead, you can create public signed certificate in Azure Key Vault. The following CAs are the current partnered providers with Azure Key Vault. - DigiCert: Azure Key Vault offers OV TLS/SSL certificates with DigiCert. - GlobalSign: Azure Key Vault offers OV TLS/SSL certificates with GlobalSign. Note: Use only approved Certificate Authority (CA) and ensure the known bad CA root/intermediate certificates and certificates issued by these CAs are disabled. **Implementation and additional context:** Get started with Key Vault certificates: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/key-vault/certificates/certificate-scenarios Certificate Access Control in Azure Key Vault: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/key-vault/certificates/certificate-access-control | n/a | link | count: 001 [Preview]: Certificates should have the specified maximum validity period (0a075868-4c26-42ef-914c-5bc007359560) |

Use Azure Security Benchmark to evaluate the controls (such as network security, identity management, privileged access and so on) that can be set as guardrails by default or shift left prior to the deployment stage. In particular, ensure the following controls are in place in your DevOps process: - Automate the deployment by using Azure or third-party tooling in the CI/CD workflow, infrastructure management (infrastructure as code), and testing to reduce human error and attack surface. - Ensure VMs, container images and other artifacts are secure from malicious manipulation. - Scan the workload artifacts (in other words, container images, dependencies, SAST and DAST scans) prior to the deployment in the CI/CD workflow - Deploy vulnerability assessment and threat detection capability into the production environment and continuously use these capabilities in the run-time. **Azure Guidance:** Guidance for Azure VMs: - Use Azure Shared Image Gallery to share and control access to your images by different users, service principals, or AD groups within your organization. Use Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) to ensure that only authorized users can access your custom images. - Define the secure configuration baselines for the VMs to eliminate unnecessary credentials, permissions, and packages. Through custom images, Azure Resource Manager template, and/or Azure Policy guest configuration to deploy and enforce these the configuration baseline. Guidance for Azure container services: - Use Azure Container Registry (ACR) to create your private container registry where a granular access can be restricted through Azure RBAC, so only authorized services and accounts can access the containers in the private registry. - Use Defender for Azure Container Registry for vulnerability assessment of the images in your private Azure Container Registry. In addition, you can use Microsoft Defender for Cloud to ingrate container images scan as part of your CI/CD workflows. For Azure serverless services, adopt the similar controls to ensure security controls are shift left to the stage prior to the deployment. **Implementation and additional context:** Shared Image Gallery overview: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/windows/shared-image-galleries How to implement Microsoft Defender for Cloud vulnerability assessment recommendations: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security-center/security-center-vulnerability-assessment-recommendations Security considerations for Azure Container: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/container-instances/container-instances-image-security Azure Defender for container registries: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security-center/defender-for-container-registries-introduction | n/a | link | count: 004 Container registry images should have vulnerability findings resolved (5f0f936f-2f01-4bf5-b6be-d423792fa562), Container registry images should have vulnerability findings resolved (powered by Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management) (090c7b07-b4ed-4561-ad20-e9075f3ccaff), Running container images should have vulnerability findings resolved (0fc39691-5a3f-4e3e-94ee-2e6447309ad9), Vulnerabilities in container security configurations should be remediated (e8cbc669-f12d-49eb-93e7-9273119e9933) |

Managed application identities provide benefits such as reducing the exposure of credentials. Automate the rotation of credential to ensure the security of the identities. **Azure Guidance:** Use Azure managed identities, which can authenticate to Azure services and resources that support Azure AD authentication. Managed identity credentials are fully managed, rotated, and protected by the platform, avoiding hard-coded credentials in source code or configuration files. For services that don't support managed identities, use Azure AD to create a service principal with restricted permissions at the resource level. It is recommended to configure service principals with certificate credentials and fall back to client secrets for authentication. **Implementation and additional context:** Azure managed identities: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview Services that support managed identities for Azure resources: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/services-support-managed-identities Azure service principal: https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/azure/create-azure-service-principal-azureps Create a service principal with certificates: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-authenticate-service-principal-powershell | n/a | link | count: 003 App Service apps should use managed identity (2b9ad585-36bc-4615-b300-fd4435808332), Function apps should use managed identity (0da106f2-4ca3-48e8-bc85-c638fe6aea8f), Virtual machines' Guest Configuration extension should be deployed with system-assigned managed identity (d26f7642-7545-4e18-9b75-8c9bbdee3a9a) |

The most common server authentication protocol is Transport Layer Security (TLS), where the client-side (often a browser or client device) verifies the server by verifying the server’s certificate was issued by a trusted certificate authority. Note: Mutual authentication can be used when both the server and the client authenticate one-another. **Azure Guidance:** Many Azure services support TLS authentication by default. For the services supporting TLS enable/disable switch by the user, ensure it's always enabled to support the server/service authentication.

| Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 | IM-6 | Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_IM-6 | Microsoft cloud security benchmark IM-6 | Identity Management | Use strong authentication controls | Shared | **Security Principle:** Enforce strong authentication controls (strong passwordless authentication or multi-factor authentication) with your centralized identity and authentication management system for all access to resources. Authentication based on password credentials alone is considered legacy, as it is insecure and does not stand up to popular attack methods. When deploying strong authentication, configure administrators and privileged users first, to ensure the highest level of the strong authentication method, quickly followed by rolling out the appropriate strong authentication policy to all users. Note: If legacy password-based authentication is required for legacy applications and scenarios, ensure password security best practices such as complexity requirements, are followed. **Azure Guidance:** Azure AD supports strong authentication controls through passwordless methods and multi-factor authentication (MFA). - Passwordless authentication: Use passwordless authentication as your default authentication method. There are three options available in passwordless authentication: Windows Hello for Business, Microsoft Authenticator app phone sign-in, and FIDO 2Keys. In addition, customers can use on-premises authentication methods such as smart cards. - Multi-factor authentication: Azure MFA can be enforced on all users, select users, or at the per-user level based on sign-in conditions and risk factors. Enable Azure MFA and follow Microsoft Defender for Cloud identity and access management recommendations for your MFA setup. If legacy password-based authentication is still used for Azure AD authentication, be aware that cloud-only accounts (user accounts created directly in Azure) have a default baseline password policy. And hybrid accounts (user accounts that come from on-premises Active Directory) follow the on-premises password policies. For third-party applications and services that may have default IDs and passwords, you should disable or change them during initial service setup. **Implementation and additional context:** How to enable MFA in Azure: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-getstarted Introduction to passwordless authentication options for Azure Active Directory: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-authentication-passwordless Azure AD default password policy: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-sspr-policy#password-policies-that-only-apply-to-cloud-user-accounts Eliminate bad passwords using Azure AD Password Protection: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-password-ban-bad Block legacy authentication: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/block-legacy-authentication | n/a | link | count: 004 Accounts with owner permissions on Azure resources should be MFA enabled (e3e008c3-56b9-4133-8fd7-d3347377402a), Accounts with read permissions on Azure resources should be MFA enabled (81b3ccb4-e6e8-4e4a-8d05-5df25cd29fd4), Accounts with write permissions on Azure resources should be MFA enabled (931e118d-50a1-4457-a5e4-78550e086c52), Authentication to Linux machines should require SSH keys (630c64f9-8b6b-4c64-b511-6544ceff6fd6) |

| Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 | LT-2 | Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_LT-2 | Microsoft cloud security benchmark LT-2 | Logging and Threat Detection | Enable threat detection for identity and access management | Shared | **Security Principle:** Detect threats for identities and access management by monitoring the user and application sign-in and access anomalies. Behavioral patterns such as excessive number of failed login attempts, and deprecated accounts in the subscription, should be alerted. **Azure Guidance:** Azure AD provides the following logs that can be viewed in Azure AD reporting or integrated with Azure Monitor, Azure Sentinel or other SIEM/monitoring tools for more sophisticated monitoring and analytics use cases: - Sign-ins: The sign-ins report provides information about the usage of managed applications and user sign-in activities. - Audit logs: Provides traceability through logs for all changes done by various features within Azure AD. Examples of audit logs include changes made to any resources within Azure AD like adding or removing users, apps, groups, roles and policies. - Risky sign-ins: A risky sign-in is an indicator for a sign-in attempt that might have been performed by someone who is not the legitimate owner of a user account. - Users flagged for risk: A risky user is an indicator for a user account that might have been compromised. Azure AD also provides an Identity Protection module to detect, and remediate risks related to user accounts and sign-in behaviors. Examples risks include leaked credentials, sign-in from anonymous or malware linked IP addresses, password spray. The policies in the Azure AD Identity Protection allow you to enforce risk-based MFA authentication in conjunction with Azure Conditional Access on user accounts. In addition, Microsoft Defender for Cloud can be configured to alert on deprecated accounts in the subscription and suspicious activities such as an excessive number of failed authentication attempts. In addition to the basic security hygiene monitoring, Microsoft Defender for Cloud's Threat Protection module can also collect more in-depth security alerts from individual Azure compute resources (such as virtual machines, containers, app service), data resources (such as SQL DB and storage), and Azure service layers. This capability allows you to see account anomalies inside the individual resources. Note: If you are connecting your on-premises Active Directory for synchronization, use the Microsoft Defender for Identity solution to consume your on-premises Active Directory signals to identify, detect, and investigate advanced threats, compromised identities, and malicious insider actions directed at your organization. **Implementation and additional context:** Audit activity reports in Azure AD: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/reports-monitoring/concept-audit-logs Enable Azure Identity Protection: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/identity-protection/overview-identity-protection Threat protection in Microsoft Defender for Cloud: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security-center/threat-protection | n/a | link | count: 017 [Preview]: Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes clusters should have Microsoft Defender for Cloud extension installed (8dfab9c4-fe7b-49ad-85e4-1e9be085358f), Azure Defender for App Service should be enabled (2913021d-f2fd-4f3d-b958-22354e2bdbcb), Azure Defender for Azure SQL Database servers should be enabled (7fe3b40f-802b-4cdd-8bd4-fd799c948cc2), Azure Defender for DNS should be enabled (bdc59948-5574-49b3-bb91-76b7c986428d), Azure Defender for Key Vault should be enabled (0e6763cc-5078-4e64-889d-ff4d9a839047), Azure Defender for open-source relational databases should be enabled (0a9fbe0d-c5c4-4da8-87d8-f4fd77338835), Azure Defender for Resource Manager should be enabled (c3d20c29-b36d-48fe-808b-99a87530ad99), Azure Defender for servers should be enabled (4da35fc9-c9e7-4960-aec9-797fe7d9051d), Azure Defender for SQL servers on machines should be enabled (6581d072-105e-4418-827f-bd446d56421b), Azure Defender for SQL should be enabled for unprotected Azure SQL servers (abfb4388-5bf4-4ad7-ba82-2cd2f41ceae9), Azure Defender for SQL should be enabled for unprotected SQL Managed Instances (abfb7388-5bf4-4ad7-ba99-2cd2f41cebb9), Azure Kubernetes Service clusters should have Defender profile enabled (a1840de2-8088-4ea8-b153-b4c723e9cb01), Microsoft Defender CSPM should be enabled (1f90fc71-a595-4066-8974-d4d0802e8ef0), Microsoft Defender for Containers should be enabled (1c988dd6-ade4-430f-a608-2a3e5b0a6d38), Microsoft Defender for SQL status should be protected for Arc-enabled SQL Servers (938c4981-c2c9-4168-9cd6-972b8675f906), Microsoft Defender for Storage (Classic) should be enabled (308fbb08-4ab8-4e67-9b29-592e93fb94fa), Windows Defender Exploit Guard should be enabled on your machines (bed48b13-6647-468e-aa2f-1af1d3f4dd40) |

| Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 | LT-3 | Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_LT-3 | Microsoft cloud security benchmark LT-3 | Logging and Threat Detection | Enable logging for security investigation | Shared | **Security Principle:** Enable logging for your cloud resources to meet the requirements for security incident investigations and security response and compliance purposes. **Azure Guidance:** Enable logging capability for resources at the different tiers, such as logs for Azure resources, operating systems and applications inside in your VMs and other log types. Be mindful about different type of logs for security, audit, and other operation logs at the management/control plane and data plane tiers. There are three types of the logs available at the Azure platform: - Azure resource log: Logging of operations that are performed within an Azure resource (the data plane). For example, getting a secret from a key vault or making a request to a database. The content of resource logs varies by the Azure service and resource type. - Azure activity log: Logging of operations on each Azure resource at the subscription layer, from the outside (the management plane).

Configure the log retention policy at the individual logging services to ensure the logs are archived appropriately. **Azure Guidance:** Logs such as Azure Activity Logs events are retained for 90 days then deleted. You should create a diagnostic setting and route the log entries to another location (such as Azure Monitor Log Analytics workspace, Event Hubs or Azure Storage) based on your needs. This strategy also applies to the other resource logs and resources managed by yourself such as logs in the operating systems and applications inside the VMs. You have the log retention option as below: - Use Azure Monitor Log Analytics workspace for a log retention period of up to 1 year or per your response team requirements. - Use Azure Storage, Data Explorer or Data Lake for long-term and archival storage for greater than 1 year and to meet your security compliance requirements. - Use Azure Event Hubs to forward logs to outside of Azure. Note: Azure Sentinel uses Log Analytics workspace as its backend for log storage. You should consider a long-term storage strategy if you plan to retain SIEM logs for longer time. **Implementation and additional context:** Change the data retention period in Log Analytics: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-monitor/platform/manage-cost-storage#change-the-data-retention-period How to configure retention policy for Azure Storage account logs: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-monitor-storage-account#configure-logging Microsoft Defender for Cloud alerts and recommendations export: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security-center/continuous-export | n/a | link | count: 001 SQL servers with auditing to storage account destination should be configured with 90 days retention or higher (89099bee-89e0-4b26-a5f4-165451757743) |

| Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 | NS-1 | Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_NS-1 | Microsoft cloud security benchmark NS-1 | Network Security | Establish network segmentation boundaries | Shared | **Security Principle:** Ensure that your virtual network deployment aligns to your enterprise segmentation strategy defined in the GS-2 security control. Any workload that could incur higher risk for the organization should be in isolated virtual networks. Examples of high-risk workload include: - An application storing or processing highly sensitive data. - An external network-facing application accessible by the public or users outside of your organization. - An application using insecure architecture or containing vulnerabilities that cannot be easily remediated. To enhance your enterprise segmentation strategy, restrict or monitor traffic between internal resources using network controls. For specific, well-defined applications (such as a 3-tier app), this can be a highly secure "deny by default, permit by exception" approach by restricting the ports, protocols, source, and destination IPs of the network traffic. If you have many applications and endpoints interacting with each other, blocking traffic may not scale well, and you may only be able to monitor traffic. **Azure Guidance:** Create a virtual network (VNet) as a fundamental segmentation approach in your Azure network, so resources such as VMs can be deployed into the VNet within a network boundary. To further segment the network, you can create subnets inside VNet for smaller sub-networks. Use network security groups (NSG) as a network layer control to restrict or monitor traffic by port, protocol, source IP address, or destination IP address. You can also use application security groups (ASGs) to simplify complex configuration. Instead of defining policy based on explicit IP addresses in network security groups, ASGs enable you to configure network security as a natural extension of an application's structure, allowing you to group virtual machines and define network security policies based on those groups. **Implementation and additional context:** Azure Virtual Network concepts and best practices: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-network/concepts-and-best-practices Add, change, or delete a virtual network subnet: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-network/virtual-network-manage-subnet How to create a network security group with security rules: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-network/tutorial-filter-network-traffic Understand and use application security groups: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview#application-security-groups | n/a | link | count: 005 Adaptive network hardening recommendations should be applied on internet facing virtual machines (08e6af2d-db70-460a-bfe9-d5bd474ba9d6), All network ports should be restricted on network security groups associated to your virtual machine (9daedab3-fb2d-461e-b861-71790eead4f6), Internet-facing virtual machines should be protected with network security groups (f6de0be7-9a8a-4b8a-b349-43cf02d22f7c), Non-internet-facing virtual machines should be protected with network security groups (bb91dfba-c30d-4263-9add-9c2384e659a6), Subnets should be associated with a Network Security Group (e71308d3-144b-4262-b144-efdc3cc90517) |

Use Azure Private DNS for private DNS zone setup where the DNS resolution process does not leave the virtual network. Use a custom DNS to restrict the DNS resolution which only allows the trusted resolution to your client. Use Azure Defender for DNS for the advanced protection against the following security threats to your workload or your DNS service: - Data exfiltration from your Azure resources using DNS tunneling - Malware communicating with command-and-control server - Communication with malicious domains as phishing and crypto mining - DNS attacks in communication with malicious DNS resolvers You can also use Azure Defender for App Service to detect dangling DNS records if you decommission an App Service website without removing its custom domain from your DNS registrar. **Implementation and additional context:** Azure DNS overview: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/dns/dns-overview Secure Domain Name System (DNS) Deployment Guide: https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-81/2/final Azure Private DNS: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/dns/private-dns-overview Azure Defender for DNS: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security-center/defender-for-dns-introduction Prevent dangling DNS entries and avoid subdomain takeover: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security/fundamentals/subdomain-takeover | n/a | link | count: 001 Azure Defender for DNS should be enabled (bdc59948-5574-49b3-bb91-76b7c986428d) |

| Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 | NS-3 | Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_NS-3 | Microsoft cloud security benchmark NS-3 | Network Security | Deploy firewall at the edge of enterprise network | Shared | **Security Principle:** Deploy a firewall to perform advanced filtering on network traffic to and from external networks. You can also use firewalls between internal segments to support a segmentation strategy. If required, use custom routes for your subnet to override the system route when you need to force the network traffic to go through a network appliance for security control purpose. At a minimum, block known bad IP addresses and high-risk protocols, such as remote management (for example, RDP and SSH) and intranet protocols (for example, SMB and Kerberos). **Azure Guidance:** Use Azure Firewall to provide fully stateful application layer traffic restriction (such as URL filtering) and/or central management over a large number of enterprise segments or spokes (in a hub/spoke topology). If you have a complex network topology, such as a hub/spoke setup, you may need to create user-defined routes (UDR) to ensure the traffic goes through the desired route. For example, you have option to use an UDR to redirect egress internet traffic through a specific Azure Firewall or a network virtual appliance. **Implementation and additional context:** How to deploy Azure Firewall: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/firewall/tutorial-firewall-deploy-portal Virtual network traffic routing: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-network/virtual-networks-udr-overview | n/a | link | count: 004 [Preview]: All Internet traffic should be routed via your deployed Azure Firewall (fc5e4038-4584-4632-8c85-c0448d374b2c), IP Forwarding on your virtual machine should be disabled (bd352bd5-2853-4985-bf0d-73806b4a5744), Management ports of virtual machines should be protected with just-in-time network access control (b0f33259-77d7-4c9e-aac6-3aabcfae693c), Management ports should be closed on your virtual machines (22730e10-96f6-4aac-ad84-9383d35b5917) |

Limit the number of privileged/administrative accounts in your cloud's control plane, management plane and data/workload plane. **Azure Guidance:** Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Azure's default identity and access management service. The most critical built-in roles in Azure AD are Global Administrator and Privileged Role Administrator, because users assigned to these two roles can delegate administrator roles. With these privileges, users can directly or indirectly read and modify every resource in your Azure environment: - Global Administrator / Company Administrator: Users with this role have access to all administrative features in Azure AD, as well as services that use Azure AD identities. - Privileged Role Administrator: Users with this role can manage role assignments in Azure AD, as well as within Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM). In addition, this role allows management of all aspects of PIM and administrative units. Outside of the Azure AD, Azure has built-in roles that can be critical for privileged access at the resource level. - Owner: Grants full access to manage all resources, including the ability to assign roles in Azure RBAC. - Contributor: Grants full access to manage all resources, but does not allow you to assign roles in Azure RBAC, manage assignments in Azure Blueprints, or share image galleries. - User Access Administrator: Lets you manage user access to Azure resources. Note: You may have other critical roles that need to be governed if you use custom roles in the Azure AD level or resource level with certain privileged permissions assigned. Ensure that you also restrict privileged accounts in other management, identity, and security systems that have administrative access to your business-critical assets, such as Active Directory Domain Controllers (DCs), security tools, and system management tools with agents installed on business critical systems. Attackers who compromise these management and security systems can immediately weaponize them to compromise business critical assets. **Implementation and additional context:** Administrator role permissions in Azure AD: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/directory-assign-admin-roles Use Azure Privileged Identity Management security alerts: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/privileged-identity-management/pim-how-to-configure-security-alerts Securing privileged access for hybrid and cloud deployments in Azure AD: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/directory-admin-roles-secure | n/a | link | count: 004 A maximum of 3 owners should be designated for your subscription (4f11b553-d42e-4e3a-89be-32ca364cad4c), Blocked accounts with owner permissions on Azure resources should be removed (0cfea604-3201-4e14-88fc-fae4c427a6c5), Guest accounts with owner permissions on Azure resources should be removed (339353f6-2387-4a45-abe4-7f529d121046), There should be more than one owner assigned to your subscription (09024ccc-0c5f-475e-9457-b7c0d9ed487b) |

JIT is a model in which users receive temporary permissions to perform privileged tasks, which prevents malicious or unauthorized users from gaining access after the permissions have expired. Access is granted only when users need it. PIM can also generate security alerts when there is suspicious or unsafe activity in your Azure AD organization. Restrict inbound traffic to your sensitive virtual machines (VM) management ports with Microsoft Defender for Cloud's just-in-time (JIT) for VM access feature. This ensures the privileged access to the VM are granted only when users need it. **Implementation and additional context:** Azure PIM just-in-time access deployment: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/privileged-identity-management/pim-deployment-plan | n/a | link | count: 001 Management ports of virtual machines should be protected with just-in-time network access control (b0f33259-77d7-4c9e-aac6-3aabcfae693c) |

Ensure the access granted to the accounts are valid for administration of control plane, management plane, and workloads. **Azure Guidance:** Review all privileged accounts and the access entitlements in Azure including such as Azure tenant, Azure services, VM/IaaS, CI/CD processes, and enterprise management and security tools. Use Azure AD access reviews to review Azure AD roles and Azure resource access roles, group memberships, access to enterprise applications. Azure AD reporting can also provide logs to help discover stale accounts, accounts not being used for certain amount of time. In addition, Azure AD Privileged Identity Management can be configured to alert when an excessive number of administrator accounts are created for a specific role, and to identify administrator accounts that are stale or improperly configured. **Implementation and additional context:** Create an access review of Azure resource roles in Privileged Identity Management (PIM): https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/privileged-identity-management/pim-resource-roles-start-access-review How to use Azure AD identity and access reviews: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/governance/access-reviews-overview | n/a | link | count: 005 Blocked accounts with owner permissions on Azure resources should be removed (0cfea604-3201-4e14-88fc-fae4c427a6c5), Blocked accounts with read and write permissions on Azure resources should be removed (8d7e1fde-fe26-4b5f-8108-f8e432cbc2be), Guest accounts with owner permissions on Azure resources should be removed (339353f6-2387-4a45-abe4-7f529d121046), Guest accounts with read permissions on Azure resources should be removed (e9ac8f8e-ce22-4355-8f04-99b911d6be52), Guest accounts with write permissions on Azure resources should be removed (94e1c2ac-cbbe-4cac-a2b5-389c812dee87) |

Use features such as role-based access control (RBAC) to manage resource access through role assignments. **Azure Guidance:** Use Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) to manage Azure resource access through role assignments. Through RBAC, you can assign roles to users, group service principals, and managed identities. There are pre-defined built-in roles for certain resources, and these roles can be inventoried or queried through tools such as Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and the Azure portal. The privileges you assign to resources through Azure RBAC should always be limited to what's required by the roles. Limited privileges will complement the just-in-time (JIT) approach of Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and those privileges should be reviewed periodically. If required, you can also use PIM to define the time-length (time-bound-assignment) condition in role assignment where a user can activate or use the role only within start and end dates. Note: Use Azure built-in roles to allocate permissions and only create custom roles when required. **Implementation and additional context:** What is Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC): https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/role-based-access-control/overview How to configure RBAC in Azure: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments-portal How to use Azure AD identity and access reviews: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/governance/access-reviews-overview Azure AD Privileged Identity Management - Time-bound assignment: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/privileged-identity-management/pim-configure#what-does-it-do | n/a | link | count: 003 API Management subscriptions should not be scoped to all APIs (3aa03346-d8c5-4994-a5bc-7652c2a2aef1), Audit usage of custom RBAC roles (a451c1ef-c6ca-483d-87ed-f49761e3ffb5), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) should be used on Kubernetes Services (ac4a19c2-fa67-49b4-8ae5-0b2e78c49457) |

Track and compare the scan results to verify the vulnerabilities are remediated. The assessment should include all type of vulnerabilities, such as vulnerabilities in Azure services, network, web, operating systems, misconfigurations, and so on. Be aware of the potential risks associated with the privileged access used by the vulnerability scanners. Follow the privileged access security best practice to secure any administrative accounts used for the scanning. **Azure Guidance:** Follow recommendations from Microsoft Defender for Cloud for performing vulnerability assessments on your Azure virtual machines, container images, and SQL servers. Microsoft Defender for Cloud has a built-in vulnerability scanner for virtual machine scan. Use a third-party solution for performing vulnerability assessments on network devices and applications (e.g., web applications) Export scan results at consistent intervals and compare the results with previous scans to verify that vulnerabilities have been remediated. When using vulnerability management recommendations suggested by Microsoft Defender for Cloud, you can pivot into the selected scan solution's portal to view historical scan data. When conducting remote scans, do not use a single, perpetual, administrative account. Consider implementing JIT (Just In Time) provisioning methodology for the scan account. Credentials for the scan account should be protected, monitored, and used only for vulnerability scanning. Note: Azure Defender services (including Defender for server, container registry, App Service, SQL, and DNS) embed certain vulnerability assessment capabilities. The alerts generated from Azure Defender services should be monitored and reviewed together with the result from Microsoft Defender for Cloud vulnerability scanning tool.

With TDE, data is encrypted at rest with a symmetric key (called the database encryption key) stored in the database or data warehouse distribution. To protect this data encryption key (DEK) in the past, only a certificate that the Azure SQL Service managed could be used. Now, with BYOK support for TDE, the DEK can be protected with an asymmetric key that is stored in the Key Vault. Key Vault is a highly available and scalable cloud-based key store which offers central key management, leverages FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated hardware security modules (HSMs), and allows separation of management of keys and data, for additional security. Based on business needs or criticality of data/databases hosted a SQL server, it is recommended that the TDE protector is encrypted by a key that is managed by the data owner (BYOK). | link | count: 006 Establish a data leakage management procedure (3c9aa856-6b86-35dc-83f4-bc72cec74dea), Implement controls to secure all media (e435f7e3-0dd9-58c9-451f-9b44b96c0232), Protect data in transit using encryption (b11697e8-9515-16f1-7a35-477d5c8a1344), Protect special information (a315c657-4a00-8eba-15ac-44692ad24423), SQL managed instances should use customer-managed keys to encrypt data at rest (ac01ad65-10e5-46df-bdd9-6b0cad13e1d2), SQL servers should use customer-managed keys to encrypt data at rest (0a370ff3-6cab-4e85-8995-295fd854c5b8) |

With TDE, data is encrypted at rest with a symmetric key (called the database encryption key) stored in the database or data warehouse distribution. To protect this data encryption key (DEK) in the past, only a certificate that the Azure SQL Service managed could be used. Now, with Customer-managed key support for TDE, the DEK can be protected with an asymmetric key that is stored in the Key Vault. Key Vault is a highly available and scalable cloud-based key store which offers central key management, leverages FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated hardware security modules (HSMs), and allows separation of management of keys and data, for additional security.

Resource-level diagnostic logs provide insight into operations that were performed within that resource itself, for example, getting a secret from a Key Vault. Currently, 32 Azure resources support Diagnostic Logging (See the references section for a complete list), including Network Security Groups, Load Balancers, Key Vault, AD, Logic Apps and CosmosDB. The content of these logs varies by resource type. For example, Windows event system logs are a category of diagnostics logs for VMs, and blob, table, and queue logs are categories of diagnostics logs for storage accounts. A number of back-end services were not configured to log and store Diagnostic Logs for certain activities or for a sufficient length. It is crucial that logging systems are correctly configured to log all relevant activities and retain those logs for a sufficient length of time. By default, Diagnostic Logs are not enabled. Given that the mean time to detection in an enterprise is 240 days, a minimum retention period of two years is recommended. Note: The CIS Benchmark covers some specific Diagnostic Logs separately.

With TDE, data is encrypted at rest with a symmetric key (called the database encryption key) stored in the database or data warehouse distribution. To protect this data encryption key (DEK) in the past, only a certificate that the Azure SQL Service managed could be used. Now, with Customer-managed key support for TDE, the DEK can be protected with an asymmetric key that is stored in the Key Vault. Key Vault is a highly available and scalable cloud-based key store which offers central key management, leverages FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated hardware security modules (HSMs), and allows separation of management of keys and data, for additional security. Based on business needs or criticality of data/databases hosted a SQL server, it is recommended that the TDE protector is encrypted by a key that is managed by the data owner (Customer-managed key). | link | count: 006 Establish a data leakage management procedure (3c9aa856-6b86-35dc-83f4-bc72cec74dea), Implement controls to secure all media (e435f7e3-0dd9-58c9-451f-9b44b96c0232), Protect data in transit using encryption (b11697e8-9515-16f1-7a35-477d5c8a1344), Protect special information (a315c657-4a00-8eba-15ac-44692ad24423), SQL managed instances should use customer-managed keys to encrypt data at rest (ac01ad65-10e5-46df-bdd9-6b0cad13e1d2), SQL servers should use customer-managed keys to encrypt data at rest (0a370ff3-6cab-4e85-8995-295fd854c5b8) |

Resource-level diagnostic logs provide insight into operations that were performed within that resource itself, for example, getting a secret from a Key Vault. Currently, 32 Azure resources support Diagnostic Logging (See the references section for a complete list), including Network Security Groups, Load Balancers, Key Vault, AD, Logic Apps and CosmosDB. The content of these logs varies by resource type. For example, Windows event system logs are a category of diagnostics logs for VMs, and blob, table, and queue logs are categories of diagnostics logs for storage accounts. A number of back-end services were not configured to log and store Diagnostic Logs for certain activities or for a sufficient length. It is crucial that logging systems are correctly configured to log all relevant activities and retain those logs for a sufficient length of time. By default, Diagnostic Logs are not enabled. Given that the mean time to detection in an enterprise is 240 days, a minimum retention period of two years is recommended. Note: The CIS Benchmark covers some specific Diagnostic Logs separately.
