AntwortenLöschenMicrosoft Azure Cloud Security Projects provides a robust suite of security tools designed to protect cloud workloads, identities, and data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. A key component is Microsoft Defender for Cloud, which offers continuous security assessment, vulnerability management, and threat protection for virtual machines, databases, containers, and more. Alongside this, Azure Security Center (now integrated into Defender for Cloud) helps organizations strengthen their security posture through secure score recommendations and compliance monitoring. Identity protection is handled by Microsoft Entra ID, enabling features like multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and identity governance to prevent unauthorized access.

Azure Key Vault safeguards cryptographic keys, secrets, and certificates, ensuring secure application development. For network-level protection, Azure Firewall and Azure DDoS Protection help defend against external attacks and ensure application availability. Together, these tools provide a comprehensive, layered security approach within the Azure ecosystem.
