Following the same approach as Microsoft Press's widely-praised Microsoft Azure Sentinel and Microsoft Azure Security Center, the authors begin with a thoughtful overview of the network security domain and its importance in the cloud. Next, they present detailed chapters on cloud-native solutions for firewalling, DDOS, WAF, and other services, showing how cloud professionals can successfully deploy them within a best practice architecture. Next, they walk through integrating key third parties, successfully monitoring network security services, and combining all components in a cohesive, “wholistic” network security strategy that can serve as the basis for security and compliance for years to come. No matter how large, small, simple, or complex your Azure environment is, Microsoft Azure Network Security will help you protect what matters most.
  • Expert, start-to-finish guidance for every Azure cloud environment, regardless of size or complexity
  • An in-depth, cloud-native, cohesive approach based on Microsoft's proven best practices
  • Combines a thoughtful overview of cloud network security with detailed drill-downs on cloud-native firewalls, DDOS, WAF, third-party solutions, and more
