Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the new security perimeter in a cloud-driven world. Azure provides role-based access control (RBAC) enabled by Azure Active Directory (AD) to control access to hosted applications.

Following the principle of least privilege (PoLP) is crucial to avoid over-authorization, where users are given more access than they need. This principle ensures users are given only the minimum access required for their work.

Azure Active Directory (AD) audit logs and Azure activity logs help log and track user activity to identify compromised identities and rogue users. This logging is essential to detect and respond to security incidents.

Just-in-time (JIT) access for VMs, shared access signature for storage, and multi-factor authentication are options to further tighten IAM. These measures help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive resources.

88% of impacted customers who experienced credential theft attacks did not employ AD and Azure AD security best practices. This highlights the importance of implementing robust IAM controls to prevent such attacks.

Cloud management is a shared responsibility between managed cybersecurity providers and firms themselves. Organizational security management is a shared responsibility, where managed cybersecurity providers like Cloud4C track, monitor, and protect cloud infra and enterprise assets, while firms are aware of their privately managed data points, owned in cloud processes, on-premises activities, inherent IT controls, and decisions.

Customer data is a key area of responsibility, where client-side data encryption and data integrity authentication are crucial. Cloud4C's cybersecurity management on Azure ensures that customer data is protected.

Firms should also be aware of Identity and Access Management for platforms and applications, which includes server-side encryption and role-based access sharing for files, systems, and data. This helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Cloud4C's cybersecurity management on Azure also covers OS, Network, Firewall Configuration, including Networking Traffic Protection (Encryption, Integrity, Identity). This ensures that all network traffic is protected, preventing potential security breaches.
