Secure Public Access to Azure Resources

One of the most important aspects of securing Azure resources is ensuring that public access is limited only to authorized users and services. In this context, public access refers to Azure resources not restricted to specific IP addresses, virtual networks, or other security mechanisms. Secure public access is essential for frontend services that are exposed to the public. Let’s have a look at these services. Some key services are provided as follows:

TLS in Azure App Service and API Management

Securing the Azure App Service is essential to protect applications from malicious attacks. One of the best ways to protect an Azure App Service and an Azure API Management serviceAzure API Management is a cloud-based service that provides an easy and secure way to create, manage, monitor, and publish APIs. It enables developers to access and share data across different systems securely. API Management allows businesses of any size to build applications with improved scalability, performance, and reliability while providing excellent security features such as authentication, authorization, encryption, token validation, and role-based access control. is by enabling Transport Layer Security (TLS).

TLS provides secure communication between two computers over the internet and can be applied directly within an Azure App Service. By enabling TLS, all data sent between the server and a client will be encrypted, making it impossible for attackers to access confidential information or manipulate data in transit. Additionally, TLS will ensure that only authenticated users are allowed access to an application, further protecting it from unauthorized access attempts. When enabled on the server side, TLS helps prevent malicious actors from attempting man-in-the-middle attacks or other forms of interception.
